Re: Crazy Woman
Apparently the woman was schizophrenic and was off her meds, so says her uncle: "The young woman shown bashing a Greyhound bus in a viral video is mentally ill and needs help, an uncle of the suspect told News4. An alarming video released by D.C. police on Friday showed a woman smashing the driver's side window of the bus with a car jack and hitting the bus driver with her car as he apparently tries to stop her from leaving the scene of a crash. Police said she also used a baseball bat to crack the windshield. Seth Silver said the suspect, 20-year-old Mariana Silver, of Northeast D.C., is his niece. He said he was stunned by her behavior. "As long as I’ve known her, I’ve never seen her like this," he said. Mariana Silver is schizophrenic and was not on medication at the time of the bus incident, according to her uncle. Symptoms of schizophrenia can include delusions, hallucinations and trouble making decisions, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. After the incident Thursday, Mariana Silver was charged Friday with assault with a dangerous weapon." ==== |
