An 88-year-old Seattle woman was brutally attacked in her own backyard last month in an assault so violent that the suspect bit off her finger before fleeing with her jewelry, according to Seattle police.
The terrifying attack happened on October 13 in broad daylight. Emma Cotton had been working behind her home in Rainier Beach when a man she said she didn’t recognize approached her from the alley and demanded that she hand over her belongings.
