Police in Newark request the public’s help identifying a woman who bit a nail salon employee on the ear and attacked two other people after getting upset over the service she received on June 23.
According to police, Newark Officers responded to Angel Nails Spa on Jones Street around 11:20 a.m.
When units arrived, the victim, an employee who suffered the ear injury, told officers that the suspect was there to get her toenails done.
Police said the suspect, she said, became irate and belligerent with her about the service. She said the suspect argued with her and co-workers, then bit her on the ear.
According to police, during the altercation, the suspect attacked two other people. She bit a man on the arm who tried to intervene while she was still inside the salon.
When the suspect left, she grabbed another woman by the hair outside of the salon and hit her in the face before running away toward the New Community Manor housing complex on Hayes Street.
