Safety Tips for Women:
PRIMAL RAGE
&
CRIMES of PASSION

It started with a simple request: Stop talking so loud on your cellphone. But what happened next in a bodega nearly put the woman who made the request in the hospital - with bruises to her body, coffee burns to her face and stiletto-heel injuries to her legs, police said.

The victim was standing in line at the store, paying for her purchases, when Berta Rakhamimov, 21, started blabbing away on her cellphone. The victim asked Rakhamimov to lower her voice, then walked outside. But Rakhamimov came after her.

First, the yapper pushed the scolder with two hands to the chest. Then the yapper threw her newly purchased coffee into the scolder's face. The yapper started boxing the scalded scolder, biting her on the finger, and kicking her thigh with her high heels.
