Woman off cliff

Woman off cliff , Surveillance video caught a brutal fight between a woman and her perceived romantic rival in Arequipa, Peru, but it's pretty one-sided. A woman caught her husband walking with a younger woman while they were out on a stroll by a cliff back in January. She is seen grabbing the younger woman by the hair and dragging her off a cliff, where she reportedly plunged about 20 feet. She is okay after the fall - she only sustained some cuts and bruises, was treated at a hospital and released. As for the husband? He bolts as soon as his wife grabs the other woman and is nowhere to be seen for the rest of the video. He later confessed to America Noticias he was unfaithful to his wife. The younger woman, however, has denied having a romantic relationship with the man. She told America Noticias that the man was harassing her.

A Hollywood stabbing is stunning the American public this week, as the Huffington Post reported this Friday, June 21, that a 23-year-old woman was recently stabbed several times and killed in a violent murder after refusing to give panhandlers on the street just $1 in Hollywood Boulevard.
