MINNEAPOLIS — A drunken woman chomped down and broke a paramedic’s finger during a late-night ambulance ride, leading to felony charges against her.
Elanna L. Ostertag, 21, of Minneapolis, was charged Thursday in Hennepin County District Court with third-degree assault and fourth-degree assault. She remained jailed Friday in lieu of $20,000 bail.
The bite on the paramedic’s right index finger, inflicted early Wednesday, was so severe that it broke the fingernail and the bone, police said. The nail had to be removed, and the paramedic’s hand was placed in a cast.
