Biker Bites Man’s Ear Off
11/18/09 - Wacky News
“A man had a chunk bitten out of his right ear during a fight with another man over whose motorbike was the fastest. Giving evidence against Phillip Joseph Butt, 26, who is on trial in the Cairns District Court for grievous bodily harm, victim Martin Atkinson, 27, yesterday described how he and his friend, Ben Tapscott, went looking for the alleged biter after the fight to see if he still had the piece of his ear in his mouth. “I wanted to find my piece of ear before it died on the ground so it could be re-attached,” Mr Atkinson said. “I said to Ben ‘have you seen my ear?’ and he said ‘no’… then I said ‘go and get my ear’.” The court heard Mr Butt and Mr Atkinson did not know each other before the incident.” w/ photos
