It is a sad statement to the character of this 78 year-old woman for what she did. She purposefully went to a market knowing the full extent of her current health situation and disregarding any consequences for other people. This woman's behavior is very frightening. I hope that this is just a one-time incident.
Good police work!
Keep safe Portugal!
