Woman facing assault charges after naked rampage at DFW Airport, police say
A woman is expected to be charged after running naked through Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and attacking airport staff on March 14, according to a police report.
Police responded to the airport’s Terminal D at around 3:30 p.m. in regard to a welfare check, according to the report.
Upon opening a fire exit door, they located the woman, who was surrounded by blood. Witnesses told officers that she had stabbed someone with a pencil, according to the report.
While suffering from an apparent mental health episode, the woman stripped off her clothing and began to attack people, police said.
A nearby restaurant kitchen manager tried to subdue the woman and was bitten on his right forearm, causing him to bleed, according to the report.
The woman then grabbed a pencil out of the restaurant manager’s shirt pocket and stabbed him multiple times in the face and head, police said.
While speaking to police, the woman told officers she was “a goddess,” and had “come from hell,” according to the report.
She told police she arrived at the airport in a car that she had “manifested,” and admitted to wanting to hurt others, according to the report.
Police later learned she was traveling with her 8-year-old daughter, according to the report. Police contacted the child’s father.
The woman was hospitalized on an emergency mental health hold, police said.
She faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
