A 24-year-old woman draped in a sheet climbed into an NY1 news van and allegedly attacked reporter Vivian Lee as she covered a story in Cobble Hill on Friday morning, DNAinfo reports.

Lee was reporting on the death of Richard Schwartz, 61, who was killed after lightning hit a church steeple and sent scaffolding tumbling to the street.

Theresa Casivant hopped into the news truck and began using Lee's makeup and snacking on food. After being removed from the van, Casivant punched Lee in the neck.

She was arrested and Lee was checked out at the hospital. See more details at DNAinfo.
