Woman Allegedly Bites Secret Service Agent Guarding First Lady
A woman tried to approach First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton during a parade in New York City on Monday and bit a Secret Service agent who stopped her, police said.
They said Yolande Bobb, 55, was charged with second-degree assault after the incident during the annual West Indian Day parade and is to be arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court today.
“Bobb tried to approach Clinton, and the Secret Service agent intervened and stopped her,” a police spokesman said.
The unidentified agent was taken to a local hospital where he was treated and released.
It was not immediately clear if Clinton was aware of the biting incident and it was not known why Bobb had tried to approach her.
