Alleged vampire victims speak out

(Jamaica-WABC, May 6, 2006) (WABC) -- Two high school students from Queens who claim a fellow student bit them like a vampire are speaking out about the alleged attacks.

Hillcrest sophomores Cynthia LaFortune and Michelle Melendez told their stories for the first time publicly on Saturday. They both say a 15-year-old girl bit them repeatedly, in separate incidents, and tried to suck their blood.

Photos of one of the girls show marks left on the skin. The girls say they have no idea why they were targeted.

"First she started stabbing me with a metal comb, then she started biting me everywhere until she got a hold of my left cheek," LaFortune said. "She bit me below my neck."

A lawsuit has been filed against the school over the attacks. The suspect has been arrested and charged with assault. A total of three girls claim they were attacked.
