Woman attacks bin lorry
A shocking video shows a woman attacking a bin lorry – tearing off its windscreen wipers and attempting to climb into the cab. The incident, filmed on Thursday (August 28) in Camden, London, captured her aggressively targeting the vehicle and confronting the workers.
Witness Amin Mohammed, 28, recorded the scene and said the woman became agitated after the lorry honked for her to move out of the road. She then began shouting at the crew, pulled off the windscreen wipers and attempted to climb into the driver’s cab.
As the confrontation escalated, she was pushed to the ground by one of the workers. After getting back up, the woman threw a punch at one of the workers, who then appeared to slap her in response.
Amin, from London, said: “Everyone around me watching was so shocked at her behaviour.
“I had seen the barriers opening for the lorry to come through as I walked up and spotted the woman walk out onto the street and just stay there.
“The bin men honked at her to move but she just got angry and started shouting. She started grabbing their wipers, basically vandalising the vehicle, and tried to get to the driver.
“Some people tried to calm the situation but the lady wasn’t listening to anyone. The bin men had to do their best to just ignore her and carried on their work.”
The Metropolitan Police has been contacted for more information.
