Woman ‘bit one-inch chunk off 68-year-old friend’s tongue during “consensual kiss”‘
'I believe this is the first case of this nature in my twenty-seven years in the Prosecutor's Office,' Prosecutor Eric Smith said.
A woman bit a one-inch chunk out of her friend’s tongue during a consensual kiss, police said.
Youlette Wedgeworth, 52, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault on Thursday after the horrific incident in Detroit, Michigan.
Investigators said Wedgeworth was visiting her 68-year-old friend at his apartment on Tuesday and the pair began kissing. According to police, the kissing was consensual.
Wedgeworth then chomped down on the tip of the man’s tongue, removing a one-inch sized piece, authorities said.
Police responded the the apartment and found the man bleeding from the mouth and missing a portion of his tongue, according to The Detroit Free Press.
Officers were able to recover the piece of the tongue, which was in the bedroom of the man’s apartment.
The victim was rushed to an area hospital. Police did not speak to his condition, whether his tongue was re-attached or why the incident occurred.
