[Star Pulse] The mayor of Baltimore, Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, is well after coming under attack at a community event over the weekend. The suspect in the water-throwing assault is in custody.
As Mayor Blake greeted locals at the Mondawmin Festival on Saturday morning, a woman charged the city leader and doused her on the head and face with a large cup of liquid.
Aides of the Baltimore mayor rushed to her side and helped dry her off with towels. Meanwhile, Rawlings-Blake's security detail subdued a woman suspected of throwing the liquid, presumably water, on the mayor.
Baltimore police took the woman into custody and booked her with second-degree assault for dousing the Baltimore City mayor with water. Sources identified the arrested woman as 37-year-old Lacheisa Pailin-Sheffer. Reporters interviewed the Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake shortly after the water attack.
