Teenager Accused Of Biting Off Nose

Minnesota - Police arrested a 19 year-old St. Cloud woman Friday, saying she bit off a piece of another woman's nose in a fight earlier that day.

Police in the St. Cloud suburb of Waite Park had to obtain a search warrant to recover the piece of nose, which was re-attached to the victim, a 22-year-old woman, at St. Cloud Hospital.

Stearns County Chief Deputy Bruce Bechtold said the biting took place during a fight between the two women shortly after 3 a.m. Friday during a party at a Waite Park house.

A 17-year-old boy, the homeowner's son, refused to open the door when police knocked, so they got a search warrant. The piece of nose was found in the kitchen, Bechtold said.

The alleged attacker was arrested in St. Cloud.

Authorities continued to look for others who were at Friday's party and witnessed the fight but ran away when police arrived, Bechtold said.
