A woman is missing a piece of her right ear today after two other women in her neighbourhood allegedly jumped her. The incident occurred last week Monday at a residence in the area of Jane Usher Boulevard. According to 34 year old Patrina Copius, she was alone at home when her neighbour and her neighbour's daughter allegedly attacked her. Now she goes around with a patched right ear, and is frustrated because she claims that the police are not taking her case seriously. She gave us her story today.
