Monday, October 24th, 2022. 4:50 p.m. A woman wearing a long flowing skirt appears from behind the hedges carrying a pickaxe. It's an unusual scene that's about to become terrifying. As the woman approaches the home from the driveway, she heaves the pickaxe into a window, shattering glass on the outer window pane. She gives the window another whack, knocking out the inner pane of glass. Once the woman in the home begins screaming, the axe wielding woman leaves just as quickly as she arrived. A moment later, the woman in the home steps out of the doorway, shouting for help as she dials 911. >> Help! >> Before help can arrive, the asalent returns. The victim caring for her newborn grandchild in the home retreats inside. Help! This time, the asalent smashes a window above a baby bassinet inside the home out of view of the camera. >> The glass shards from these giant windows were literally double her size. If she was 5 seconds late, my daughter would no longer be with us. >> Fortunately, inside the home, the grandmother gets the baby away from the window before it's broken. While the perpetrator continues her rampage, a passing car slows down to observe but continues on. One by one, she shatters every street facing window in the home, slipping on shards of glass as she swings the heavy pickaxe. >> Questions? >> The bizarre tirade continues as seen through this second security camera. Hence, anyone? >> The woman puts the pickaxe over her shoulder as she leaves the front yard, issuing a terrifying warning as she leaves a driveway. >> I'll be back. Get out. I'll be back. >> She pauses to shake pieces of glass out of her sandals before heading back up the driveway to take another swing. Apparently, she has an axe to grind with the owners of this home. The woman smashes three more windows out of view of the front camera. The force of her swings is so violent, it shakes glass from the windows in the front of the home. Finally, the woman exits the property, hacks under arm, leaving a trail of broken glass behind her. Pasadena PD later tracked down the axe wielding woman a few blocks away. She is identified as 65-year-old Beverly Baker. Baker is arrested and held until June of 2023 when she is released to a mental health facility. Police reported the incident may have been the result of a mental health crisis.
