A man in Indiana walking to his car at night was followed and then struck over the head repeatedly by a woman he never met brandishing a meat tenderizer, police said.

When Richmond police first responded to a report of battery on Saturday, they said they were told by dispatch that a woman in the vicinity wearing a windbreaker and black clothing was likely carrying a hammer. Once police arrived, according to local Fox affiliate WXIN, they found their suspect, Faith Garrett, 56, and conducted a pat down.

Searching through her jacket, an officer said he made a troubling find.

“When I asked Faith what the object was, she removed a black meat tenderizer with a chrome handle and handed it to me. I asked Faith why she had a meat tenderizer in her pocket, and she stated ‘to cook with,”” an officer wrote.
