Cockeysville Senior Bites Would-Be Home Invader

Baltimore County police say an 80-year-old man fought off an attacker by biting him at his home in Cockeysville

At approximately 7 a.m. on Dec. 14, the attacker came to the front door of the man's home in the 12700 block of Falls Road. He told the resident there was something wrong with his well and it needed to be checked. The man disagreed, then the attacker reached into the home, grabbed the senior's hand and pulled him to the ground. The attacker than got onto his back and tried to put his arm around the man's neck, then the victim bit his hand. A woman, 60, who also lived there came outside and punched the attacker in the head. He fled. The man suffered only minor injuries and didn't need to be taken to a hospital.
