PITTSBURGH -- A 20-year-old woman who was robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield was also maimed by her attacker, police said.

Pittsburgh police spokeswoman Diane Richard tells Channel 4 Action News that the victim was robbed at knifepoint on Wednesday night outside of a Citizens Bank near Liberty Avenue and Pearl Street just before 9 p.m.

Richard said the robber took $60 from the woman, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

The robber is described as a dark-skinned black man, 6 feet 4 inches tall, 200 pounds with a medium build, short black hair and brown eyes. The man was wearing dark colored jeans, a black undershirt and black shoes.

Isn't it? I just had to wipe some off my shoes. It's getting everywhere.

Get used to this.

Also get used to anyone who manages to defend themselves from such being destroyed by the MSM.

Remember how they even tried to dig up dirt on and smear the lady who shot the AK-wielding killer in a church?

God help anyone who defends themselves against a raging leftist.

I'm not one to defend lunatic behavior, but the following is enough to make me skeptical for now...

I can see you've never dealt with anyone who is in shock.

It is rather interesting that the alleged crime by the alleged attacker happened off-camera, and then the alleged victim declined medical attention. It is conceivable that a very - uh - devoted partisan wished to make Obama look bad, and had this done to her face.

But frankly, that's an even less probable scenario.

I'm guessing she didn't "refuse medical treatment" at all, but the cops wanted her to go to an emergency room. She wanted to go to her own doctor or an urgent care clinic. Or she wanted to meet with her boyfriend/girlfriend/mother, for moral support.

the picture proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that she faked it to make BHO look bad.

How so?

Is it just me, or is the 'B' backwards? As in self-inflicted in front of a mirror?

It also looks pretty neat and clean.

But the image could be reversed. And if she was laying on the ground, we don't know where the bad guy was positioned in relation to her head. Reasonable to think he would have been on top of her, though, rather than kneeling beside her or something.

The B certainly looks backwards. Is it possibly the photo is reversed?

That's possible.

Maybe it's a sideways M. (or W

After the picture, count me skeptical, but without further evidence, I'll believe her story. I'd imagine there is ATM video footage of the incident.

Besides, when was the last time you saw an intelligent crook?

I dunno, cutting yourself, and giving yourself a black eye seems a bit extreme.

Froth all you want, but I'm waiting a bit on this one.

The real question isn't the assault, but the B and how a purported knife wound ended up looking like a hard fingernail scratch that didn't need medical treatment.

There are a lot of attention-starved folks out there who will go the extra mile to get some air time. Especially if they feel it will help "their guy".

Remember Randi Rhodes and her "mugging" by a hate-fueled conservative?

Just because we are on the "same side" as the victim, doesn't mean we should take their word for what happened when it enters the political realm.

Very faintly. Was she, or wasn't she?

Very faintly recall hearing something like that. Was she, or wasn't she?

IIRC, she either made up the mugging, or made up that it was conservatives who did it. Can't remember for sure.
