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.

The Obama-Biden campaign released a statement, commenting on the attack. The statement said "Our thoughts and prayers are with the young woman for her to make a speedy recovery, and we hope that the person who perpetrated this crime is swiftly apprehended and brought

Before anyone shouts troll at me - I think it’s fake. It’s backwards like Morton Downey jr’s swastika.

What I find a little specious is that the “B” is backwards, unless the negative is “flopped.”

Not saying I don’t believe it, but I’d like to feel a little more sure of what’s going on.

JMHO, of course.

That’s what I was thinking, but I’ve always had trouble with that sort of thing.

I’m not saying it was self-inflicted, but...the “B” looks reversed, as if it were carved while looking in a mirror.
