Doctor bites attacker
A doctor who was attacked in her room at the Coronation Hospital hostel early on Sunday morning bit the man’s hand when he put it over her mouth. The police said the woman woke about 4.15 a.m. to find the man crouching at the end of her bed. She screamed and when he put his hand over her mouth, she bit a piece of flesh off a finger. The man then fled, climbing out a window on to a balcony, and taking a wallet containing $4O.
