An illegal immigrant has bitten a Border Patrol agent in the face, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials said on Friday.
While taking them into custody, one agent "was physically assaulted and bitten" by one of the illegal immigrants. The agency said that one subject had been arrested for assault and taken to a hospital for medical evaluation.

CBP later confirmed to Fox News that the agent had been bitten in the face by the illegal immigrant, and that three of the four migrants in the group had crossed back into Mexico.
