An American woman, identified as Sydney Rei Huff (27), was detained in Istanbul’s Taksim area after assaulting her husband and attacking passersby and property during a chaotic incident on November 23.
Following an argument with her husband at a local venue, Huff injured him and stormed out, later targeting a pedestrian, Mert T., grabbing his neck and damaging his phone. She also shattered the windshield of a taxi and attacked medical personnel attempting to assist her.
Police intervened after complaints were filed, detaining Huff. Charged with “intentional injury” and “property damage,” she was later released and deported following court procedures.
