Teen bites fellow students

A 13-year-old boy allegedly bit 11 students at a Des Moines, Iowa, middle school between Feb. 10 and Mar. 13, the Des Moines Register reported.

The boy's father told police that his son was biting people because he had seen the movie "Twilight," according to the Register.

"Twilight" is a film based on of a popular book series depicting a romance between a vampire and a teenage girl.

According to the article, the incidents came to the attention of the McCombs Middle School vice principal after the boy bit a 13-year-old girl on the hand.

The biter has been referred to a juvenile court on assault charges, the Register reported.
