Woman Bit Paramedic Treating Her Injury: Police

West Haven police have arrested a 30-year-old local woman accused of punching and smashing a car window, hitting a 13-year-old who tried to intervene in a dispute and biting the paramedic who was trying to help her.

Police responded to 254 Main Street around 11 p.m. on Sunday for an assault complaint and said Jessica Rosario, of the same address, had just smashed the window of a vehicle. 

Investigators also learned that Rosario had struck a 13-year-old who had tried to intervene in the dispute that Rosario was having with a male. 

As paramedics treated Rosario for a cut she sustained while punching the window, she bit a medical provider on the arm, police said.

Rosario was transported to the hospital for treatment and she was then held at the West Haven Police Department.

She was charged with breach of peace in the second degree, criminal mischief in the third degree, reckless endangerment in the second degree, interfering with an officer/resisting arrest, assault on a public safety/emergency medical personnel and risk of injury to a child.

Bond was set at $25,000.

She is due in court in Milford today.
