ASSAULT VICTIM BITES OFF ATTACKER'S TONGUE

The victim of an attempted sexual assault escaped after she bit off her teenage attacker’s tongue. South Carolina police caught the alleged assailant when his mother called police to report that her son’s tongue was gone. Police say a 33-year-old North Charleston woman opened her front door at 6:30 a.m. to find a man holding a knife. The suspect allegedly forced his way inside, tackled the woman, punched her and took her into a bedroom. As he began to assault her, the woman kicked the suspect in the groin, at which point the man responded, “Now you have to die.” When he subsequently forced his tongue into her mouth, the woman “bit his tongue as hard as she could until she heard it snap.” She was able to flee and call for help. Cops found the woman with a visible bruise and swelling around her right eye. The suspect’s tongue was located at the crime scene, along with a knife allegedly used in the attack.
* The suspect is expected to plead nah guil-hee.
* I wonder what he told his mom? “Sho dehr I wah, rowing up mah car winhow …”
* Like McGruff the Crime Dog says: Let’s take a bite out of crime.
* Tasted like chicken.
* That’s one way to stop the attack and get a DNA sample all in one move.
* Any time this happened would be horrible and unfair but 6:30 a.m.? You just wake up for a new day and walk into this?
* The man didn’t give his name – but it’s on the tip of his tongue.
* I just wish the woman had a pet cat so she could drop the line, “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”
* Losing his tongue was a blessing for the man. It took his mind off the pain from the kick in the groin.
* He’ll never be tongue-tied again.
