Seattle Woman Awaiting Surgery After Stranger Allegedly Bites Chunk From Her Forehead

Prosecutors say the victim will need a skin graft after the alleged attack, and the wound is expected to leave permanent scarring.

  • Kamilia Chadli has been charged with second-degree assault following an unprovoked attack on September 18 in Seattle near the Arctic Hotel, where prosecutors allege she bit victim Diana Gonzalez on the forehead.
  • Diana Gonzalez said she had 'never seen' her alleged attacker before encountering Chadli eating on the steps of the Arctic Hotel. Diana claimed the suspect spat on her and grabbed her before they began to fight.
  • Chadli allegedly bit a one-inch chunk of skin from Diana's forehead. The victim said: Almost instantly she's like, Inferior race, you're an inferior race, alleging the assault was motivated by racism.
  • Diana was transported to Harborview Medical Center for treatment, where doctors determined the wound required a skin graft. Chadli was taken into custody after walking to a nearby bus stop near a courthouse.
  • Prosecutors say Diana will be permanently scarred from the injury. She added, It's so weird, I can't believe she bit a piece of my face off, expressing hope that Chadli receives a long prison sentence.
