Woman pummels topless Times Square worker

Video has emerged of a 'crazed woman' attacking a topless painted woman in Times Square in an attack that left tourists gobsmacked.

Tourist Donna Myer recorded the two women trading vicious blows and rolling around on the sidewalk, shocking tourists.

The brawl started at Crossroads of the World when Amanda Roman, 23, was chatting with Meyer who wanted her to pose with her hubby.

“I asked how much is it?" she told NY Post

"Whatever you can give."

“I didn’t have no money. I said, 'Let me go to the bank.'"

The 'crazed' woman known as, Angela L. Portalatin, 27, was walking by at the time and told the desnuda in front of the tourist:

"You’re a nasty whore! You disgust me!" and started beating the topless worker.

“She knocked her out of nowhere,” passerby Mitchell Norman, 29, told NY Post.

Portalatin, whose white T-shirt was smeared with red paint, yelled back at the crowd that Roman was the assailant.

Several people shouted that the brawl was caught on video.

The women were reportedly intervened by police, taken away in handcuffs and understood to be expected to receive summonses.

The fracas is the newest trouble involving the Times Square painted ladies.

Last week one of the topless women was accused of offering oral sex and drugs to an undercover police officer.

Another incident involved a South Carolina businessman Mark Walters who allegedly assaulted one of the topless workers women after accusing them of taking his wallet.
