 town in New Zealand has had a “weird” outbreak of incidents involving biting.

 

This weekend, a woman was accused of biting a man so hard her teeth cut through an artery. Another woman was arrested after biting another woman’s ear outside a supermarket.

 

Hawke's Bay District Command Centre spokesman said: "It was a fight between three females and during the fight one of the females has bitten another one's ear and drawn blood. She hasn't bitten it off, but quite badly so she needed some medical attention.”

 

The police were also called later that night to an unrelated biting incident at a pub called The Thirsty Whale. Based on the report, a woman bit a man who was fighting her brother. She was arrested while the injured man, who was bitten in the neck, has been discharged from hospital.

 

The bar owner, Chris Sullivan said: "We've never seen these people before – they're certainly not locals."

 

The police spokesman described the incidents as “a little bit weird.”
