'Disney princess' strips naked; bites, stabs onlookers at Texas airport
What's the story
A woman went on a crazy rampage at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in Texas, USA, earlier this month. Samantha Palma was filmed behaving erratically, including smashing a display TV and tossing water into the air. She was also filmed shaking her hips suggestively and prancing around maniacally as travelers stared open-mouthed at her. When a woman offered her a coat to the naked woman, she squealed and ran away while shouting "f**k you" to random people.
Assault details

Videos shared online showed the "manic episode" that led to her allegedly stabbing at least two people with a pencil and biting a restaurant manager who tried to subdue her. The woman also allegedly bit him on the forearm, breaking skin and bruising. According to TMZ, police found her hiding behind an emergency door at Gate D1 of Terminal D, covered in blood that wasn't hers.
