In reply to KTT: No that was not the thing thing to do. IF they were ticks carrying a tick born disease then there would be a chance it can regurgitate its saliva into you.
Keep an eye on the area where you got bitten, if you start to feel ill with cold symptoms or you get some sort of strange rash(apparantly bullseye) then make an appointment to your doctor. Good luck!
It is rather strange though to get them in an urban environment, i blame birds!
