PARAMUS - A woman bit and robbed another woman in Van Saun County Park, authorities said Thursday.
The victim was walking her dog in the park around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday when the assailant stole her cellphone and bit her several times, Bergen County Sheriff's Office spokesman Anthony Cureton said.
The woman, a Hackensack resident in her 50s, also suffered scratches and bruises in the attack, the spokesman added.
Authorities described the robber as an Asian woman, in her late 20s to 40s, 5-foot-3, about 110 pounds with dark hair in a ponytail and wearing athletic clothing.
