U.K. food delivery driver who bit customer's thumb "clean" off over pizza dispute pleads guilty
CBSN
An English woman who was filling in for a friend as a delivery driver in the U.K. has reportedly pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm more than a year after a customer says she bit off his finger during a dispute. CBS News' partner BBC News reported that 35-year-old Jenniffer Rocha bit the customer's finger "clean" off in December 2022.
According to the BBC, Rocha was acting as a "substitute" delivery driver for a friend through the Deliveroo service when the incident occurred, meaning she was performing the work under someone else's account. During her shift on December 14, 2022, 36-year-old Stephen Jenkinson of Aldershot ordered a pizza.
Rocha, however, attempted to deliver the food down the street from his address, and when he went to pick it up, he left his phone at home, leaving him unable to provide the delivery code number. He told BBC News that they then got into an argument, and at one point he raised his hand to Rocha's motorcycle helmet.
