Tonya Knight-Joseph says two women approached her car and called her ‘all types of B-words’ before assaulting her.
A race for a parking space at a New Jersey mall turned ugly when an angry woman bit off another driver's finger, police said.
Cops were called to Cherry Hill Mall's parking lot Saturday afternoon shortly after the bloody dispute between the motorists.
Tonya Knight-Joseph claims she had just parked up by Aisle 18 at 4 p.m. — after circling several times — when two women approached.
They accused her of pinching their space.
Cherry Hill Police
Cherry Hill police are searching for this woman, described as a black female in her mid-30s, heavy set build with ‘bushy’ hair, possibly operating a dark-colored, older model Audi.
"As soon as I got out of the car (one of the women) started calling me all types of B-words," Knight-Joseph told ABC.
"She got this close to my face, her nose touched my nose. She was yelling and screaming then she hit me in the face," she added.
Scratched, Knight-Joseph said she "put up her hands in defense" but was then one of the women bit on the finger.

Tonya Knight-Joseph nearly lost a finger in the parking lot of the Cherry Hill Mall in Cherry Hill, N.J.
"It was hanging off by a little piece of skin," Knight-Joseph said.
After dialing 911, presumably with another digit, she was advised by dispatchers not to chase the suspect but instead report to Cooper University Hospital.
Treated with tetanus shots and tested for HIV, she is still waiting to find out if part of her finger will have to be amputated.

'She got this close to my face, her nose touched my nose,' Tonya Knight-Joseph's says from her hospital bed.
Police have released an image of the suspect, with officers saying they are desperate to track her down.
"This is a very big deal, beyond an assault. She went through to the bone, the bone is actually fractured, and the finger was nearly severed," Cherry Hill Police Lt. Amy Winters said.
"This is an aggravated assault and it's something very serious. You're always concerned with bites, also with infections," she added.
The suspect is described as a black, heavy-set female in her mid-30s with bushy hair. She was driving a dark-colored Audi sedan.
Anyone with information should call Cherry Hill Police Department on (856) 488-7828.
