A Nigerian woman had to be tied with a rope by the police
in a bid to restrain her after she allegedly attacked shopkeepers and
policemen in an inebriated condition at National Market on Monday, June 27.
The woman, in her late 20s, was identified as Mariam. She was
accompanied by a man. According to witnesses, Mariam stopped at a mobile
phone store inside the busy market around 2.45 p.m. on Monday and when the
shopkeeper did not attend to her, she reportedly banged the glass
counter twice.
"She was told not to do, as the glass might break. Hearing this, she
banged the counter again. The glass broke, leaving her with wounds on
her hands,"said a witness who was near the shop at the time of the
incident.
Almost immediately, shopkeepers gathered around the couple. A heated
argument ensued. Someone alerted the Upparpet police. When they tried to
pacify the lady, she allegedly attacked them. The police restrained her
with a rope and bundled the couple into their van. They were taken to
K.C. General Hospital in Malleswaram for a medical test. At the
hospital, when asked to get down from the auto, the woman allegedly
again turned violent and created a ruckus. Efforts to calm her were
unsuccessful.

Satish Kumar, psychiatrist, K.C. General Hospital, accompanied her to
NIMHANS. He told The Hindu that he had reported the case,
symptoms and incident to the emergency ward at NIMHANS and got her
admitted there. The woman is expected to undergo tests in the morning.
