A woman covered only with strategically placed bright pink
duct tape injured three officers in a struggle outside a
bar in Seattle on Saturday.

Police were called when the woman started fighting
with a couple of people and then began tearing off her
clothing.

Seattle police said three responding officers were
injured when the woman “freaked out” as she was put in the
patrol car.

Renee Witt, with SPD, said one officer was kicked in the
jaw, another in the hand, and a third officer was kicked
in the head.

“She’s outside of the patrol car, the officers are again
trying to get her under control, when she kicked one
officer in the head, which actually caused a concussion,”
said Witt.

The three officers and the woman were treated at
Harborview Medical Center.

The woman had to be knocked out with medication to keep
her under control at Harborview. She was later booked into
King County Jail.
