A British glamour model road rage driver bit into a woman’s ear when she was told off for using her phone. Chloe Hammond, 27, faces an “immediate, long custodial sentence” after lashing out at her victim in the middle of busy central London traffic.
Hammond – also known as Chloe Rebelle – was blaring her horn at pedestrians while at a standstill near Embankment Pier, a court heard. Victim Julie Holloway was attacked when she told Hammond off for having her mobile at the wheel. She began biting into her ear before parking her silver Audi TT and returning to kick Ms Holloway in the stomach. She allegedly called Ms Holloway a “f****** ugly c***”, and “ugly b****” and an “old biddy” during the violent daylight brawl on March 19.
Christian Moll, prosecuting, said a witness described Hammond as “thrashing around like a dog with a chew toy” when she latched onto her victim’s ear, he added.After someone else recovered the missing chunk of ear in a piece of tissue, Ms Holloway was rushed to London’s St Thomas’ A&E department and eventually required reconstructive surgery to “make the ear look as normal as possible”. Ms Holloway said she had been on her way to a boat party before the alleged assault.
She said: “I felt her bite my ear. I couldn’t get her off me because she just lunged on to my ear. It was chaos at the time, because my ear was on the floor. I didn’t know what had really happened to me at the time. I didn’t grasp what had actually happened. There was blood all over me, there was blood all over one of the girls and I just didn’t know that my ear had gone missing as such until someone picked it up off the floor. It’s quite disturbing to say the least.”
