Woman Bites Ear Off Romantic Interest During Attack: Police

ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A 44-year-old Rochester Hills woman was arrested Sept. 17 after she reportedly tried to strangle and bite a woman she was romantically interested in.

Oakland County Sheriffs responded to a 911 call at Lake Village Apartment Complex after a neighbor reportedly heard someone moaning and calling for help in a nearby unit. Responding officers reportedly found two women partially nude and covered in blood in the bedroom.

The victim, a 48-year-old resident of the apartment, had several bite marks and was missing part of her left ear, according to the report. She told police she invited the suspect, a former neighbor, over for drinks, when the woman made several unwanted sexual advances toward her.

The victim said she later went to bed and was woken up to the suspect strangling her, biting her and saying she was going to kill her.

Police said the suspect was hovering over the victim when they found the two on the floor near the bed.

Once the victim was stabilized, paramedics transported her to Ascension-Providence Rochester for further medical attention, police said. The suspect was also transported to Ascension-Providence Rochester Hospital for detox and medical evaluation. Police are continuing to investigate.
