A feisty package pilferer got bite-happy when a woman tried to stop her from swiping mail and parcels from a Brooklyn apartment building, police said Tuesday.
The 49-year-old victim caught the crook red-handed in the lobby of her building near the corner of Fulton St. and Washington Ave. in Flatbush around 7:20 a.m. on Jan. 8, cops said.
When the woman spotted the thief snatching up the parcels, she confronted her and in return, the snappish thief sunk her teeth into the woman’s hand before taking off in a gold BMW SUV, police said.
The victim was not seriously injured and refused medical attention at the scene.
Police on Tuesday released images of the thief in the hope someone may recognize her. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.
