Woman Chomps Down On Robber's Hand During Attack At San Carlos Hotel
SAN CARLOS (CBS SF) -- A woman bit a man who was trying to rob her at a hotel in San Carlos Saturday afternoon, according to the San Mateo County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies responded to a report of a strong-arm robbery at 3:50 p.m. Saturday at the Extended Stay America Hotel on Circle Star Way.
After returning from a walk, the victim was pushed to the ground by a man who demanded money, according to deputies.
She said that she had no money, so the suspect tried to check her pockets. She then bit the suspect on the right hand and he fled across Industrial Road onto G Street, deputies said.
No weapons were observed during the course of the attempted robbery and the victim did not report any injury, according to deputies.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic man around 20 years old, standing 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and white shoes with a black hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled up over his head.
