Novosibirsk locals were left bewildered after witnessing a hysterical naked woman running along the city's streets while trying to bite passersby, a news report said Wednesday.
The incident occurred near the Marx Square metro station at about 7:40 p.m. on Saturday.
Witnesses said that the naked female was spotted running along the tram lines. She then turned and ran across the road, throwing herself with all her might into the window of a nearby store, Sibnovosti reported.
"There was another girl with her, but she didn't try to stop her. People rushed to photograph her and one man with a camera yelled 'I cast the demons out of you in the name of Jesus!'," a witness wrote on a social networking site.
She then rushed toward people walking on the streets attempting to bite them while screaming, "I am God!" Rosbalt reported.
When police arrived at the scene, they detained the woman and handcuffed her to a kiosk until psychiatrists arrived.
Police are investigating the cause of the woman's behavior.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
