Lettuce Turned into Projectile in Dispute - 70-Year-Old Woman Uses Lettuce and Trolley in Supermarket Car Park Rampage

A supermarket car park in Bad Bergzabern became the scene of a bizarre dispute between two women last week. What began as a verbal argument ended with a head of lettuce hurled through a car window—and a shopping trolley used to dent the vehicle. Police have since launched criminal proceedings against the 70-year-old suspect.

The confrontation started when the older woman allegedly directed insults and threats at a 41-year-old woman. Tensions quickly escalated, leading to an unexpected act of vandalism.

According to reports, the 70-year-old grabbed a head of lettuce and threw it through the open side window of the younger woman's parked car. She then pushed a shopping cart into the vehicle, causing further damage. After the incident, the suspect left the scene but later contacted police by phone.

Authorities have opened criminal proceedings against the 70-year-old for insult, threats, and property damage. The case now rests with prosecutors, who will determine the next legal steps. No further details about the investigation have been released.
