NY1 reporter attacked by deranged woman wearing bedsheet

                               Vivian Lee was attacked Friday morning in Brooklyn

A crazed woman attacked NY1 reporter Vivian Lee as she covered a story in Brooklyn this morning, police sources said.

Theresa Casivant, 24, allegedly climbed into Lee’s van on Clinton and Baltic Street in Cobble Hill about 7 a.m., and bizarrely began putting on Lee’s makeup, sources said. Lee confronted her, and Casivant allegedly punched her in the throat, sources added.

Police came to the scene, and took Casivant into custody, sources said. Charges are pending, and she is expected to also undergo a psychiatric evaluation at an area hospital.

Lee suffered a minor throat injury, sources added. She was in Cobble Hill reporting on the death of Richard L. Schwartz, a resident who was killed after getting hit with falling bricks and scaffolding when scaffolding struck Christ Church on Clinton Street.
