Palma, who reportedly called herself the goddess Venus, is accused of stabbing a manager of an airport restaurant in the head and face using his own pencil when he attempted to subdue her. He also allegedly bit the man on the forearm, breaking the skin and causing bruising.
Wild video goes viral
Video of the incident that has surfaced on X shows Palma behaving erratically at the airport, breaking a display television, throwing water in the air, and moving her hips suggestively. She was seen prancing around strangely while people stared at her and recorded her using their cell phones.
A woman offered Palma a coat at one point, prompting her to squeal and run away while shouting “fu** you” to random people around her. Palma later destroyed a display television.
Police found Palma hiding behind an emergency door at Gate D1 of Terminal D, covered in blood. However, the blood was reportedly not her own.
Palma was taken into custody, following which she told the police that she had not taken her medication that day. It is unclear what medication she took. She also told cops she was travelling with her eight-year-old daughter.
Palma told the police she identified as Disney princesses, including Ariel and Pocahontas. She is reportedly being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She was initially detained on a mental health hold.
What caused the mental breakdown and prompted the unusual behaviour remains unclear. While it appears as though Palma is battling some kind of mental health issue, it is unclear what exactly she suffers from.
