Topless Woman Assaults Cab Driver, Gets Hit By Bus

PROVIDENCE—A woman being driven to Rhode Island’s mental hospital was struck by a bus transporting prisoners after she jumped out of a taxi and ran across the highway.

State Police Capt. James Swanberg said the woman assaulted a cab driver taking her to the Eleanor Slater Hospital in Cranston on Tuesday morning, causing the taxi to strike a guardrail on Interstate 95 in Providence.

The woman ran across the highway without her shirt on and police say she was struck by a bus carrying prisoners, presumably to court in Providence. The woman suffered non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, police said.

The prisoners were placed on a second bus. Swanberg says the woman will face charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct.

There is really only one question to ask yourself after reading a story like this. Who takes a taxi to a mental hospital? I think your normal way of going to a mental hospital is in an ambulance, with a straight jacket on, freaking out, with the EMTs calling for a back up. That's your standard mental hospital check in. Atleast that's the way you check in if you want respect from your peers in the hospital.

Honestly, I think this lady came to realize she was making a big mistake with such a low key check in and decided to take action. She assaults the cab driver, goes topless, and gets hit by a bus. In one swift act she became the Lance Armstrong of that mental hospital. Respected by everyone.
