It all happened around 4:15 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 27 when officers responded to First Street and Hudson Street in Hoboken on a report of a potentially drunk and unruly Lyft passenger, local police said.

As she was talking with authorities, Linda Smith, of Hoboken, punched and kicked the officers and EMS workers who were also called to the scene, according to police.

She was subsequently arrested and charged with three counts of aggravated assault, terroristic threats, and resisting arrest.

Smith was eventually released on a summons.
