Seattle Woman Accused of Biting Off a Chunk of Victim's Forehead During Attack, Police Say

Police say the victim suffered permanent injuries and will need surgery after the suspect allegedly used racial and homophobic slurs.

  • Seattle police arrested 36-year-old Kamilia Chadli on Friday for allegedly assaulting Diana Gonzalez near Third Avenue and Marion Street on September 18, an incident authorities described as a violent hate crime attack.
  • The encounter began when Chadli threw a food wrapper at Gonzalez, then yelled, 'You're the inferior race,' before biting a 1-inch chunk of flesh from her forehead.
  • Gonzalez was transported to Harborview Medical Center for a skin graft to treat permanent injuries, while a witness chased Chadli and flagged down a King County Marshall at the scene.
  • Authorities booked Chadli into the Maleng Regional Justice Center on $150,000 bail; prosecutors charged her with second-degree assault, though a hate crime charge may be added later.
  • Concerned by the random nature of the assault, Gonzalez expressed fear of recidivism and hopes for a lengthy prison sentence while processing the physical and psychological toll.
