Woman robbed, bitten in arm by robber in Texas

[July 09, 2009]  SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- A robber left his mark on a San Antonio victim by biting her left arm.

San Antonio police are seeking the man who robbed 65-year-old Rita Cervantes after she cashed a check at a bank and was getting into her van. Cervantes told police that a man with a towel over his face approached, jumped into her vehicle and began fighting with her.

She told WOAI-TV that she punched the man, but he bit her and took about $150.

Cervantes said the man claimed to have a gun in Friday's attack, but she never saw a weapon.
