A man who was accosted at an ATM on St. Charles Avenue overnight responded by biting his attacker, New Orleans police said Thursday morning.

Then, the “perpetrator was bitten by victim and fled in an unknown direction,” the report states.
The victim described the ATM robber as a 7-foot-tall black man in a white tank top with gray pants, the report states.
