Woman Who Fell in Water Fountain While Texting to Sue the Shopping Mall

Published on:

­Readers may recall the video posted here earlier in the week of a woman walking through a shopping centre and being so distracted by her text messages that she didn't notice she was heading directly at a water fountain.

Unsurprisingly, she fell in, and a  video of the incident, which was apparently recorded with a mobile phone pointed at the monitor in the security room has gone viral on the internet.

However, the woman is not just complaining about the leaking of the video onto the internet - but she is also suing the shopping mall as she argues the security staff should have run down to help her instead of just watching the incident.

Cathy Cruz Marrero told ABC30 that she could have been seriously hurt and she doesn't find the video at all funny. "I'm just like dumbfounded. And all I kept saying was, 'I fell. I fell. I fell in the fountain. I fell in the fountain.'"

Marrero has hired a lawyer to pursue legal action.
