On Mother's Day, police were called to an apartment in the Baisley Park Houses in Jamaica, Queens, where residents reported a domestic disturbance. But en route, the responding officers were sidetracked by a savage street fight that left 52-year-old Nikita White scarred for life. White was crossing Merrick Boulevard around 10 p.m. when 38-year-old Lovette Hill allegedly attacked her without provocation. "She just started charging at me," White tells CBS 2. "She lunged at me in the middle of the intersection with both fists."
White only escaped on the strength of her teeth. "She had her hands in my mouth and that’s when I bit down on her thumb," she recalls. At some point, the cops on their way to the Baisley Park Houses came upon the scene, but they were too late to save White from the scars she now bears on her forehead and under her hair. They were also too late to save Sharon Lee-Hill, who was allegedly killed by her younger sister—the same woman who allegedly jumped White. Lee-Hill's neighbors had called 911 almost 45 minutes earlier.
Lovette Hill shared an apartment with her now deceased sister, and while the motive for the murder is unclear, Hill's been classified as "emotionally disturbed." She allegedly cut off her sister's nose and ears, which police discovered when they finally showed up at the housing project... THE NEXT DAY. The NYPD is conducting an investigation to figure out how the 911 call got lost in the shuffle, but the end result is that Lee-Hill is dead and White is emotionally and physically scarred—and she's had to get tested for HIV because she swallowed some of Hill's blood.
"Maybe, the chances would’ve been better they would have caught her sister — or whoever did it — before she attacked me, yes," White tells CBS 2.
