In the argument the “ladies” got more and more agitated with each other and it turned physical. Subject #2 grabbed subject #1’s hair and dragged her to the ground. S#1 bit S#2’s leg and they both punched each other numerous times in the face. Somehow the fight stopped and the two came to Northern Station. The officer at the front counter got medical assistance for both subject’s. S#2 suffered a contusion on the leg from the bite, and S#1 had her front teeth knocked out.
