Woman Gives Cops Finger After Thumb Bitten Off: PD

NEW HAVEN, CT- A woman apparently had no interest in helping officers figure out why she was missing part of her thumb.

Police were dispatched to Warren Street April 5 around 11:20 p.m. after someone reported that a woman's thumb was bitten off, said Officer David Hartman, police spokesman.

They encountered a 44-year-old woman who was missing the tip of her left thumb. She appeared intoxicated and refused to cooperate with officers, Hartman said.

"It is unclear who is responsible for the detached digit but the officers were given the finger," he said.

The woman was taken to the hospital.
