There was huge ruckus at a market in Bengaluru on Monday when an African woman, allegedly drunk, became unruly at a series of shops selling mobile phones in Upparpet and started abusing the staff. Police says to restrain the woman, shopkeepers had to tie her hands.
The shopkeepers then called the police, which took the woman to a government hospital for a medical check-up.
Footage from the hospital shows the woman charging at police personnel and trying to pull the collapsible gates at the entrance to the hospital building.
The images then show people running from behind her with a sheet and bringing her to the ground. The woman was admitted to the National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences in the city.
"Around 4.30pm, a couple entered national market... Shop number 27... One of them is a Nigerian. She was with her boyfriend. They indulged in inappropriate behaviour. When the shop keeper objected to their behaviour, the woman abused him and the staff. Also broke the glass. Other shop keepers came and tied her hands," said Sharath Chandra, Additional Commissioner of Police, West.
"She was taken to the KC General hospital, Malleswaram. She pushed all the policemen and the woman cop. It was difficult to control. Now she is in Nimhans. She is presently detained. Once discharged, we will arrest her," he added.
Bengaluru is home to thousands of students from Africa and there have been unfortunate cases of assaults on members of the community. Police have special programmes targeting at bringing greater harmony between locals and African students and workers.
