Woman Runs Without Clothes Through Airport As Violent Meltdown Is Caught On Camera

13

Those who were present in Terminal D at Dallas Forth Worth International Airport in Texas earlier this month on March 14 were treated to a shocking sight.

A woman, wearing absolutely no clothes, was seen having a very public meltdown as she clutched a plastic water bottle in a now viral video.

She began throwing water everywhere as she walked across the concourse, tossing it in the air while screaming strange phrases such as, “I speak all languages!”

Highlights
  • A woman had a public meltdown at the Dallas Airport, as she ran naked throughout the concourse and caused chaos.
  • She was in the middle of a manic episode, throwing water and a cellphone at the airport monitors.
  • Authorities arrived after she stabbed a restaurant manager with a pencil.

    A woman was caught on video having a “manic episode” at the Dallas Forth Worth International Airport earlier this month

    She was also captured throwing a cellphone at the airport monitors above her in an attempt to break them before grabbing and opening a bottle from a café counter to pour it all around her person, later “launching into a manic dance in the puddle” she’d created, as reported by Daily Mail

    The woman did manage to force a row of wall-mounted airport screens to shut down by, once again, flinging her cellphone at them, one by one.

    Oddly enough, despite the public indecency, not a single member of law enforcement or airport security was present. Travelers either watched or ignored what was happening by scrolling on their phone.

    But that didn’t stop a few witnesses from trying to stop her.

    At one point, a man came up to her and asked her to stop as he begged, “Go away! Stop!” while on the phone, presumably speaking to security.

    The woman merely threw water at him.

    Another female staff member tried to make things a little better by approaching her with a coat in hand, but it only triggered the opposite reaction as the woman began swearing and screaming even more.

    TMZ also reported that she was found behind the emergency exit door at Gate D1 with blood on and around her. Eyewitnesses told police she had stabbed a restaurant manager with a pencil when he tried to intervene, before biting his right forearm and causing “immediate bruising.”

    She had been traveling with her 8 year old daughter.

    Authorities eventually arrived but the video showed only witnesses trying to stop her

    As officers handcuffed her to take her away, cops claimed she told them she “wanted to be with the flowers” and was “in a forest.” The report also stated that she identified as multiple Disney princesses like Ariel and Pocahontas, calling herself “Venus” at one point.

    The woman claimed she had no intentions of hurting anyone or herself, telling authorities that she was “trying to make herself better and sometimes that hurts.” 

    She has now been detained on a mental health hold and will be charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

    No official statement from the Dallas airport has been made — but a mix of humorous and concerned reactions began to pop up on social media.

    “It would be super fun traveling with her. She likes to run around n*ked and she speaks all languages,” someone on Reddit wrote.

    One user gave a little insight on what the woman may have been dealing with: “In law enforcement we called it Excited Delirium. Dealing with people like this have incredible strength while under the influence and feel no pain. Very dangerous this situation.

    “That guy that asked why they won’t stop her. Well she is a female and n*de I wouldn’t as a male go within 100ft of that situation.”

    It was reported that the woman had also stabbed and bit a restaurant manager

    They continued, “Having been in a position where I’ve had to restrain n*ked people before, it definitely adds a whole new layer of discomfort and anxiety to a situation. It shows they’re obviously not thinking rationally, which means they’re unpredictable.”

    “This IS NOT funny!” another scolded. “This woman along with so many others need the appropriate help!”

    “This is so sad that poor mom had her eight year-old daughter with her,” someone added. “Nothing about this is funny. It’s traumatizing and traumatic for everyone involved.”

    The situation was not a laughing matter to many on social media

    After they posted pictures of a woman just after she was talked down from killing herself on a bridge, I stopped using BP for several months. I finally caved and started checking in sometimes. This post here is making me consider boycotting it forever. The people at BP just don't seem to care. They post photos of kids that they shouldn't post and post horrible stuff like this, as if they have no morals. There's plenty of stuff to post. They don't need to post this. And shame on the 22+ people who upvoted this, too. I don't think BP cares about votes. I think they care if you go to the page because that means I might have seen ads. So I've contributed just by coming here to post this comment. Most of the time, when I see something like this, I downvote in the main page and don't click on the story itself. I hope that actually affects whatever statistics they look at.

    "Bored Panda’s mission is to spread good news and highlight top artists from around the world." Why this?. I hope the poor woman gets the help she needs and I hope BP never, ever publishes trash like this again.
