One of my ambulance crew has a scar from a little old lady encounter that required 30-40 sutures to repair. AND she got him through a pair of heavy work pants. She clawed him. No teeth or weapons involved.

Actually, I have been attacked by a feisty, elderly lady. This woman had attacked another little old lady in the neighborhood and left bruises on her arms. The police were called and all they did was to tell the attacker to please not resort to violence the next time she had a disagreement with someone. When this same woman later attacked me - she has senile dementia combined with an extreme paranoid streak - I was easily able to grab both her hannds and force her arms down to her sides. No tasers were required, and I am not especially strong.
