With small businesses slowly re-opening after months of quarantine it wasn't long until people started to fill the streets again to enjoy the summer weather. The year 2020 hasn't been kind and people are cautiously awaiting the next big tragedy. Imagine neighborhood deli owner, Nahmed Suresh's surprise when one of his customers rabidly bit another customer. The biter in this incident was one, Karen Jones, 34. Witnesses say that she came into Suresh's deli with a "dazed and confused" look.
"She did not look healthy," Suresh noted. "She wasn't wearing her mask properly and was drooling all over the floor. I asked her if she was alright and to put her mask on."
Jones allegedly snarled at the deli owner before approaching another customer by the name of Harry Gordon, 65. Witnesses say, Gorden asked Jones to "socially distance herself" from him before she lunged at him and bit him in the neck. Suresh called the cops while two other bystanders pulled and restrained the rabid Jones.
"He was bleeding all over the floor, the store owner was calling the cops, shit got real way too fast." Jordan Hayes was one of the bystanders who pinned Jones to the ground until law enforcement took her away.
Gordon was taken to Trinitas County Hospital by paramedics where sources say that he was exhibiting symptoms similar to COVID-19. Doctors have decided to quarantine him to determine whether this is a new strain of coronavirus. They've requested to test Jones if she was positive for COVID, but has proven difficult due to Jones's uncooperative nature.
UPDATE: Karen Jones has tested positive for COVID-19.
Gordon's relatives were approached but refused to talk with our reporters to care for Gordon. They did, however, confirm that they were going to press charges.
