It’s not the first time a suspect has attempted to gnaw off their own fingerprints while in police custody.

In 2010 Keith Simmons Jr was arrested on drug charges in New Jersey. Despite being cuffed, the 21-year-old managed to move his hands to the front of his body, kick out the side window of the patrol car and escape while officers searched his car. The authorities noted he had bloodied fingertips before he escaped.
