California Highway Patrol officers said they started receiving a call about a woman driving recklessly on eastbound I-80 at around 4.40pm Tuesday.
One caller even said the woman, who was driving a white Chevy sedan, brandished a gun at her.
The caller went on to say that the driver got out of her car in the middle of the road with a knife, and started yelling at other drivers on the road.
After re-entering her vehicle, the woman allegedly stopped her car again just past the toll plaza on the Bay Bridge, parked across 2 lanes of traffic, and exited the car completely naked.
She then allegedly began firing a gun, but officers say no injuries were reported and no vehicles were struck by gunfire.
The unidentified woman could be seen walking through lanes of Interstate 80 without any clothes or underwear on as she pointed a handgun
When California Highway Patrol officers arrived on the scene, they said they told the woman to drop her gun. The woman initially refused but she ultimately complied.
But the cellphone videos posted online suggest the woman had already emptied her magazine at that point.
It ends with the woman being handcuffed behind her back and led into a patrol car.
Authorities say the woman has since been placed on a mental health hold at a local hospital, and will be booked on unspecified charges upon her release.
The incident left the bridge closed for an hour, with residual delays lasting into the night.
