£100,000 in compensation for bite victim

A woman who was scarred for life after being bitten by an asylum seeker while working at the immigration department of Gatwick Airport, has received over £100,000 in compensation. She had to undergo three separate rounds of surgery after the incident. She was bitten when she was part of a team detaining an asylum seeker who was resisting and was also later found to be HIV positive. She did not contract the disease, but left her job due to physical and mental issues following the incident.
