SOMERS - Call it a case of shopping-cart rage.

The 72-year-old woman was treated at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt and released.

A short time after the incident at the store in the Somers Commons Shopping Plaza near the Putnam line, troopers learned that Curcio showed up at the Putnam County Hospital Center, claiming that he was attacked and robbed at the Stop & Shop, police said.Troopers Paul Carinci, Linda Holmes and Timothy Gleason took Curcio into custody at the hospital and charged him with second-degree assault, a felony, and petty larceny, a misdemeanor, for removing $85 worth of groceries from the store, police said
