Mrs. William Wagar, a society woman, slugged a masher while wheeling her baby. The masher, Frank Tyndall, tried to flirt with her and later endeavored to throw his arms around her.
“I gave him uppercuts and tripped him,” she told the policeman who arrested Tyndall. When the officer arrived on the scene, the man was lying in the gutter, Mrs. Wagar was kneeling on his body and was punching him in the face. Tyndall was fined and sent to the workhouse.
