'THE POOR WOMAN ONLY CAME IN FOR A BALLOON' 19:28, 04 Jun 2025 A woman in a wheelchair began 'throwing items' and 'attacking' people during a self-checkout


rampage in a Morrisons store, witnesses have claimed. The footage, filmed at the supermarket in Eccles on Tuesday (June 3) appeared to show a woman launching a number of different items into


the air as onlookers can be heard gasping and shouting. During the heated exchange, which appeared to be with another customer also using the self-service tills, a voice is then heard


shouting 'you stupid b****' as the woman is seen to pick up a number of other products from the till and hurl them towards the customer. _JOIN THE MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS WHATSAPP


GROUP _HERE A number of Morrisons staff members then are seen attempting to intervene amid the incident, along with members of the public and security officers. The woman is then filmed as


she goes to repeatedly kick the other customer and continue attacking her after falling to the ground. Article continues below The chaos then continues as the woman goes on to hit out at a


separate customer as she is held back by another. A third customer appears to then kick her. The two women then both fall to the ground gripping one another as they are surrounded by a group


of onlookers who try to drag them apart. One customer, who filmed the heated exchange said the woman with wheelchair 'started screaming and throwing things' but had no idea


'what set her off'. "To be honest, I am not too sure what set her off. She just started screaming and throwing things," she said. "Then she got out of her chair and


attacked a poor woman who only came in for a balloon." Another witness then claimed that the woman began 'swinging' at an officer after police were called to the supermarket


on Tuesday evening. Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were called at around 6.15pm to the Morrisons store on Irwell Place to reports of two women fighting. One woman was arrested at


the scene on suspicion of assault and assaulting a police officer. No further details have been confirmed. --- Day in day out, our reporters in the_ Manchester Evening __News_ newsroom bring
