A Pennsylvania woman is accused of stripping naked and assaulting customers inside a Pittsburgh-area grocery store, leaving two people injured.
Tammy Canut, 53, of North Huntingdon, is facing multiple charges following the Thursday incident at a Giant Eagle in the Oak Park Mall Shopping Center in White Oak, Pennsylvania.
Officers responded to the chaotic scene just after 3 p.m. where they found the woman naked and bleeding from her face, police said in a press release.
Video recorded by a customer appears to show Canut taking off her clothes, pushing a dog in a stroller, and kicking and shoving employees and bystanders while knocking over food displays.
The footage, obtained by WPXI, is blurred, but customers could be heard reacting to wild scene. “Ew, you weirdo,” one person yelled as the Canut stripped down to nothing.
Wearing just her shoes, the naked woman appeared to swing at nearby customers and an employee who tried to intervene.
Two people inside the store were injured during the incident and treated by medics at the scene. Authorities did not release details on the severity of their injuries. Canut was also treated for minor injuries.
It’s unclear what led up to the bizarre incident, but police said that “several witnesses were interviewed and all available CCTV footage was reviewed by White Oak Police Officers.”
Canut was charged with two counts of simple assault, indecent assault, indecent exposure, criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, open lewdness, and harassment.
She is currently in the Allegheny County Jail.
