LEICESTER, Mass. — The Leicester Police Department is asking for help in identifying a woman who allegedly assaulted a cashier at a Walmart on March 27.

The female suspect was told by the cashier that there was a limit on the number of Lysol disinfectant cans that she was trying to buy. The suspect responded by spraying the cashier in the eyes with Lysol, who then needed treatment by EMS personnel.

The suspect then completed her purchase and left the store in what is believed to have been an Uber.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Matthew Soojian at (508) 892-7010 ext. 2066 or email soojianm@leicesterpd.org.
