Naomi Campbell admitted assaulting two police officers as she was ejected from a plane at London's Heathrow airport in a furious row over lost luggage.

The 38-year-old British supermodel foul-mouthed British Airways flight and police, spitting and swearing and accusing them of victimisation because she was black.

"You are a racist. You wouldn't be doing this if I was white," Naomi allegedly told the flight crew.

She was told one of her bags, containing an Yves Saint Laurent outfit that she was contracted to wear on a US chat show, had not been put in the aircraft's hold.

When a police officer tried to take Campbell's arm, the model "went berserk, thrashing her arms around uncontrollably", hitting the officer on the arm with her phone and kicked in the thigh by stiletto-heeled boots, shouting "don't touch me", kicking out and telling the officers: "It is because I am a black woman. You are all racists. I am going to sue you."

The forced the only other first class passenger on the aircraft to move to the staff kitchen for safety.

Campbell, who last year was handed community service and forced to undergo anger management therapy after admitting assaulting her maid in New York, pleaded guilty to six charges.

Naomi's lawyer said she was "genuinely apologetic" for her behaviour, that they had a community punishment in mind.

The assault charge carries a maximum six-month prison sentence and a fine of up to 5,000 pounds (CAN $1,000)
