One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today.

A man seeking a kiss from a woman working at Burbank Town Center resorted to biting her, police say.

Burbank Police say the suspect approached a young woman working at a makeup kiosk at the Burbank mall, ABC News reports. He apparently harassed her and tried to kiss her before biting the clerk on her back.

The suspect is described as an Asian male about 20 years old. He has brown hair and is approximately 5 feet 7 inches tall and 140 pounds.

He was described as wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with red plaid, light-blue jeans, a hat and diamond earrings.

Anyone with information should call Burbank Police at (818) 238-3000.
