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.
Looks like the 48 hours rule for this one-and hopefully the MSM will report the truth and not what it wants to be the truth, or bury the story is the truth is inconvenient.
On the plus side, just looking at the photo, it does not look like she'll be left permanently scarred.

It appears that he carved her face while behind her head. I assume she was on the ground when he did it. Just my guess.
McCain is getting really desperate to stoop to such lows. What a publicity stunt! </sarcasm>
She wrote on Twitter that she was looking for a bank machine. If this is a hoax, she pulled out ALL the stops.
When push comes to shove, as it inevitably will, may it be assumed you'll be wobbly?
I hope not.
Here’s the deal, the B is backwards, which is exactly how it would look if it was self-inflicted with a mirror. Which gives the media plausable deniability and turns it back on to the McCain Campain.
I’ve blacked my own eye by slamming face first into concrete by mistepping on a curb.
Jumping on to this too soon and without very careful investigation is dangerous to the campaign.
Unfortunately the MSM will have her reputation destroyed in a matter of hours.
Absolutely she has a lawsuit.
Looking at it, I’d say she did it herself, too. She definitely has a black eye, but there are certainly many ways she could have gotten that. And that B, aside from being backwards, looks too neat to be something scratched into somebody’s face by an asailant.
Oh Dear Lord, please help this girl and the rest of our nation and world. Have mercy on us. In Jesus name, Amen.
He knew that when she looked in the mirror it would look like a B for HER to see.
Wromg, when you shoot, you shoot to KILL.
She may have been posting to her Twitter account thru a smart phone. JMO. She could have been frightened in the area she was in and recorded it.
There are no BoA ATMs in Pittsburgh. She was looking for a BoA machine to avoid fees.
It's also exactly the same place if you have knocked someone down and were kneeling next to their head upside to carve it in place.
Right, because your average mugger is so familiar with the concept of mirror writing because of his study of Leonardo Da Vinci and probably has read all of the Sherlock Holmes novels.
