Cops Collar Cabbie's Alleged Ear-Biter
Are Tiny Dogs The Bitiest Dogs in New York City?
With the snow slowly melting into the crevices of the sidewalks, people are rather upset at all the dog poop they now find themselves trudging through. But we're much more concerned with being bitten by a dog: there were 3,609 bites recorded in the city last year, the highest annual number of dog bites on record according to the Health Department. And some of the most vicious bitches based on that data? Teeny-weeny Chihuahuas and Shih Tzus.
Coyotes Roaming Suburban New York
People move to the suburbs because of the schools and the back yards and the "safety"—and besides, when they did live in the city, they spent every night snuggling on the couch with Netflix anyway. Towns like Greenburgh (right by Dobbs Ferry, and... Irvington) are just a short Metro North ride away, and you can always make plans to come into town to meet old friends for dinner and then cancel at the last minute. But don't be fooled! The suburbs aren't as safe as your traitorous married friends claim: Last year there was a panther roaming the Hudson town of Sneden's Landing (still at large!) and yesterday a coyote attacked a 56-year-old Greenburgh woman, who is now hospitalized in stable condition. Later—just to make sure everybody got the message—the coyote bit a pit bull. It wouldn't dare pull this shit in Carroll Gardens.
This is How You Write a Lede
"A woman standing on a Manhattan subway platform with her pants down bit a New York City police officer in the back, police said Thursday."
Hybrid Bus Disappointment Spurred Bite
An update on the incident where a passenger on the M104 bus bit the driver: According to the driver, the woman was upset his bus wasn't a hybrid. The Daily News spoke to driver Peter Williams, who said, "She came on the bus, and she said she waited more than an hour for a hybrid. I said, 'I'm not in control of what bus is assigned to me.'" That's when Shelia Bolar yelled at him and then went for his arm: "Bolar chomped through a jacket, a sweater and a thick shirt, causing a bruise and swelling but not breaking skin." (Her niece told the News earlier this week that her aunt is "little... She likes attention. She's going to do whatever's gonna get her the most attention.") Bolar, who is being held without bail, is scheduled to undergo a psychiatric exam.
