A 28-year-old woman in the United States (US) was arrested for allegedly “permanently disfiguring” a man by assaulting him with a Pringles can.
According to Wesh, the incident occurred at a 7-Eleven outlet in Orlando, Florida last Thursday (6 March).

“As I was standing in line there was a young lady in front of me talking to the cashier, she seemed like she had been drinking,” he said. “She stood to the side and as I was about to pay for my drink I asked the young lady if she knew the guy outside.”
28-year-old Shanika Serdahl then turned around and suddenly hit the man with a Pringles can, according to Local 12. She struck him right above one of his eyes, splitting his eyebrow and leaving a large gash.
“The cut looked significant and appeared that it would leave a scar and permanent disfigurement,” the law enforcement officer wrote in an arrest affidavit.
Parademics administered first aid to the victim at the scene.

When questioned by police, she admitted to throwing the Pringles can at her victim. She also alleged that the victim had been rude to her.
Ms Serdahl claimed the victim called her a “c*nt” at one point.
However, a 7-Eleven employee gave a conflicting statement. In it, the employee agreed with the victim’s version of events.
“All the guy was doing was informing me of another male customer that was laying down on the side of the building,” said the employee. “The female called the guy a b*t*h.”
She then attacked him with the Pringles can, which “literally went flying down one of the aisles”.
Ms Serdahl is facing charges of aggravated assault.
