A Connecticut woman bit off the tip of her ex’s middle finger — and posted videos on Facebook boasting of the gruesome assault, police said.
Anna Lindo, 34, of Bloomfield, was arrested after attacking her unidentified former flame as she held a brick while the man walked near his home late Sunday in Hartford, Lt. Paul Cicero told The Post.
The pair struggled for control of the weapon, Cicero said, and that’s when Lindo likely bit off the tip of his finger.
“At this point, we’re kind of surmising it was a bite since he kind of had her in a reverse bear hug — like back to chest — as he was trying to restrain her,” Cicero said. “And then he felt a lot of pain and looked down and the fingertip was gone.”
Lindo posted at least two videos on Facebook depicting what she had done, police said.
“She had the fingertip in her hands, kind of showing it off to the camera, saying, ‘This is what you get when you mess with me,’” Cicero said.
Lindo didn’t have a knife or sharp object in her possession when she was later arrested on charges of first-degree assault and disorderly conduct, according to police.
The woman, who refused to be interviewed by detectives, was in a prior romantic relationship with the victim, who is married. Lindo is also accused of stalking her ex and his wife, Cicero said.
“It was very brief, not too far from the victim’s home,” the lieutenant said of the unprovoked attack.
The man’s finger was later found on the dashboard of a car Lindo was driving. Her mother called cops to report the discovery and the digit was taken to a hospital, but it could not be reattached, the Hartford Courant reports.
Lindo remained jailed on $75,000 bond as of Wednesday, online records show.
