The Bronx
A deranged, ranting woman invoking the Black Lives Matter movement went on a tantrum in a Pelham Bay pet store, causing $500 in damage and killing several fish, police sources said.
The woman barged into Crosby Pet Center at 1626 Crosby Ave. at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday and started shouting semi-coherently at a 44-year-old employee, cops said.
“Black lives matter. F--k where you’re from? I can come back with a mob and white people are what’s wrong with the country,” the woman allegedly ranted.
She then started tossing random pet supplies, including fish bowls with several live species, according to police sources.
The fish out of water were killed.
The ranter then exited the store and remains at large, police said.
A worker at the store declined to comment.
