A hammer-wielding woman went berserk inside rapper Drake’s New York City store, causing significant damage. She was taken away in handcuffs moments after she was caught smashing windows, but that is not all she did. On Tuesday, a woman entered Drake’s October’s Very Own clothing store located in Manhattan. While it is unclear if she was a customer, reports say she became violent and suddenly started to destroy property.
According to police, the chaos quickly escalated when the woman began smashing the store’s windows with a hammer and throwing items to the ground. Witnesses outside the shop captured parts of the incident on video, showing the woman unleashing destruction inside the boutique before strutting out onto the street.
Dressed in nothing more than a black bra and leather pants, the woman left bystanders both shocked and confused as she walked confidently past crowds on the busy Manhattan street. In typical New York fashion, passersby appeared more curious than afraid, with many continuing about their day despite the unusual scene.
The situation drew a heavier police presence moments later. Several NYPD officers approached the woman just a few blocks from the store, cornering her on the street. She was searched, handcuffed, and placed into the back of a patrol car as onlookers filmed the arrest.
A representative from the NYPD confirmed that the woman not only caused extensive damage to the store’s property but also attempted to set a fire inside. She has since been arrested and booked for criminal mischief and attempted arson.
While the bizarre incident left the store temporarily damaged, no injuries were reported. Videos of the rampage have since circulated online, sparking a mix of shock and humour from social media users who remarked on both the destruction and the woman’s brazen demeanour.
The October’s Very Own store, part of Drake’s global clothing brand, is a popular destination for fans of the rapper’s music and merchandise. After Tuesday’s incident, it has become the scene of one of Manhattan’s latest unexpected and viral public meltdowns.
