A WOMAN WHO was being held for shoplifting at an Upper Darby Pathmark on Saturday busted out of the security office and ran through the store topless after losing her shirt in a fight with guards, according to police.

Shortly before 1 p.m., security officers at the Pathmark on 69th Street near Marshall Road caught Aishana Clayton, 26, stealing a package of Pampers diapers on video, said Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood.

The guards detained Clayton and led her to a security office in the store, police said. Once there, Clayton began to punch, bite, scratch and kick a 47-year-old female guard in a bid to escape, Chitwood said.

The guard was able to grab hold of Clayton's shirt, but she wiggled her way out of the garment and ran through the store and into the parking lot topless and fled in her car, police said.

"Her breasts were swinging as she ran to the car," Chitwood said.

Police said they found her vehicle, an older-model Buick, abandoned on Wiltshire Road. Clayton, who has four convictions for retail theft and arrests for aggravated assault and attempted murder, remained on the lam Tuesday night, Chitwood said.

Anyone with information on Clayton's whereabouts is urged to call Upper Darby police at 610-734-7693 .
