Yahoo Movies Woman Maces Man In The Face At Mr Turner Screening
A night at the movies didn’t turn out well for one man, who was reportedly maced at a TCL Chinese 6 screening in Hollywood.
The man was at an American Film Institute screening of ‘Mr Turner’, when he asked a woman to stop using her cellphone, an eye witness told Mashable.
After asking several times, he tapped the woman on her shoulder.

The woman had a violent reaction to the shoulder tapping, and reportedly stood up, turned on her phone’s flashlight app, screamed at the man and threatened to call the police.
People asked her to turn off the phone, but she began going through her bag and produced a bottle of mace.
She reportedly used the mace on the man, who left the theater with a companion.
The woman continued to watch the movie, which never stopped playing, until security escorted her out about 20 minutes later.
