CHERRY HILL — Police say a dispute over a parking spot at a southern New Jersey mall ended when a woman bit and almost severed the finger of another driver.

The fight at the Cherry Hill Mall involved three women and occurred around 4:30 p.m. Saturday outside Nordstrom's. Details about the dispute were not disclosed, but authorities say it began as a verbal argument before it turned physical.

The Courier-Post reports that the injured woman was a 42-year-old Philadelphia resident. She was in stable condition at a hospital.

Police are searching for the biter and say she could face aggravated assault charges.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Cherry Hill Police Department at (856) 488-7828.
