A female clubber was bitten on the thigh by an AIDS infected stranger, after the attacker tried to steal her hat, Metro reported this week. HIV carrier Vito Calabrese locked his jaw in the woman's left thigh for 30 seconds after she resisted his attempt to grab her hat, causing her enormous emotional trauma, a London court heard. The incident happened in the Shadow Lounge on Berwick Street.

Calabrese, who claimed his drink had been spiked, was sentenced to 2 years in jail and fortunately his victim escaped infection.
