KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A Malaysian woman was sentenced to one day in jail and fined for biting a police officer. Chai Yuh Chen, 27, pleaded guilty in the Magistrate's Court to a charge of using criminal force against Cpl. Hamidun Mohamed Zin in April, a crime which carries a possible maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
Hamidun was breaking up a fight between two men in a Kuala Lumpur suburb and was about to arrest them when Chai leaped on him, biting his arm, reported the national news agency, Bernama.
The attack allowed one of the suspects to escape.
Chai was sentenced to two months in prison unless she paid a fine of $526, in which case she would spend one night in jail. Chai paid the fine.
