Pete's spit: Five to sue

Pete's spit: Five to sue

The Libertines Bound Together: The Definitive Story of Peter Doherty and Carl Barat and How They Changed British Music

Bosses from TV's Five are to sue drug addict Pete Doherty for assault after he spat beer at a reporter.

Live From Studio Five's Minnie Stephenson was sprayed on the back of her head as she interviewed his Libertines bandmate Carl Barat.

Viewers saw Doherty, 31, twice spit at her after swigging beer from a bottle. Police are not taking action, but a Five source said: "What Doherty did was disgusting. Minnie wasn't bothering him, but he just decided to spit all over her. The station will be taking it all the way on her behalf.
