A 20-year-old woman in South Korea has been arrested for terrorizing customers in a supermarket while wearing a cat mask and dual-wielding knives. According to The Korea Times, the woman entered the store and began waving the cutlery around before staff tried to calm her down.

The supermarket’s employees eventually called the police on the estranged woman, who, upon the cops’ arrival, began to “meow” at the officers. When asked by the police after her arrest if she had more weapons on her, she refused to respond and simply kept “meowing” at the officers.
