NY1's Vivian Lee was just doing her job this morning when a woman wearing sweatpants and a white sheet climbed into the news van, where she "began using Lee's makeup and snacking on food," DNA Info reports. Asked to leave, the woman punched Lee in the neck before getting tossed out and arrested. Back to you, Pat (with your shiny studio lights and the safety of your anchor's desk)!
