From a glance at the New York State Police blotter, the arrest of two Stamford women on Monday evening on minor charges, after a "disturbance" at a local restaurant, doesn't look too unusual.
But a local man who witnessed the incident described a bizarre and harrowing scene: An unhinged woman throwing plates and mugs at staff, tearing up money and throwing it in the air, and striking out and "hissing like a demon" at staff and patrons who tried to subdue her.
The man -- who asked not to be identified -- told the Watershed Post that he was just about to leave Gabrielle's Restaurant in Stamford, after a quiet Monday evening dinner with his husband, another couple and their baby, when all hell broke loose.
"The waitress came out to give us our receipt and she was shaking,'" he said. "She just started crying, and [the mother of the baby] hugged her. She said, 'There's a woman over there throwing plates and striking at me, it's crazy.'"
The group went into the bar room -- where, he said, a woman was shrieking, throwing beer mugs and shot glasses, and trying to break off the bar taps.
"She had some money on the bar, it wasn't enough [to cover her bill]," the witness said. "She tore up all the money and threw it. Her eyes were bugging out, she was talking nonsense and hissing like a demon. I took a step closer to her and she lunged out at me and started screaming."
The scene was terrifying, he said.
"It was like when I was reading about zombies on bath salts, that's what it was like. She was possessed. Like the Exorcist," he said. "Her eyes -- she would open them up and stare, and hiss, and say, 'You're done.'"
