Woman Says Couple Threatened Her at Woburn Mall

The woman allegedly needed to avoid a car in the parking lot and retaliated by throwing an empty yogurt cup at the car.

An Andover woman reported being threatened by a man and woman at the Woburn Mall.

The woman said she was leaving the mall Thursday afternoon and was crossing the parking lot carrying an empty yogurt cup. A newer model gray Nissan Altima was driving in the parking lot and forced her to take a step backward toward the curb.

Upset at the driver, the woman threw her empty yogurt cup at the vehicle. The driver stopped and made threatening gestures at the woman, she told police.
