SOMERS - Call it a case of shopping-cart rage.

State police said a 45-year-old Dutchess County man became enraged at a 72-year-old woman who was in front of him at the checkout line of the Super Stop & Shop on Route 6 last night and ran her over with his shopping cart.

James Curcio of Hillside Road, Poughquag, continued pushing the shopping cart out the door, despite not paying for the groceries, then beat a retreat in his car, police said.

The 72-year-old woman was treated at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt and released.

Sgt. Joseph Lutz said the woman was checking out about 9:15 p.m. and was processing her debit card when Curcio became impatient and bumped her with his cart.

"She then said something to him. He got mad, hitting her twice with the cart and knocking her over before he fled," Lutz said.

Store employees ran outside and got a description of Curcio's vehicle and its license plate. They also prevented him from escaping with the groceries.

1. Just when I think I can't be surprised at the human race

somebody behaves like this

Seriously... it never occurred to me that any person could behave like this.

I hope someone posts something positive soon... this may ruin my day.
