Pub brawl CCTV with one left with 'life-changing injuries' after bite on ear
Police are hunting a man who is alleged to have chewed on another man's ear while the pair were fighting at a city centre bar.
The pair were initially having an argument but the confrontation descended into chaos and the pair started to fight each other. According to police, the man who was bitten sustained "life-changing" injuries and officers have released CCTV footage and images in a bid to identify and catch up with the biter.
The fight broke out at Albert's Schloss in Chamberlain Square, Birmingham shortly before 11pm on November 11 this year. West Midlands Police said: "Recognise this man? We need to speak to him after an assault in Birmingham. Shortly before 11pm on 11 November, two men were involved in an argument at Albert's Schloss in Chamberlain Square.
"The argument escalated and the two men had a fight, during which one was bitten on the ear, suffering life-changing injuries. We know the images aren't very clear, but we hope people may recognise him. Contact us with info via Live Chat or 101, quoting 20/856518/23."
And it's not the first time that someone has had their ear chewed in a bar brawl. An off-duty landlady had her ear bitten off at the The Firemans Arms in Birkenhead during a scuffle with an unruly pub-goer. Michelle Thomas, 37, ended up on the floor with Gemma Rowlands, 25, who got on top of her before biting part of her ear off.

The grim injury involved a large chunk of her ear lobe being completely bitten off resulting in painful scarring around her stitched-up ear. Rowlands admitted to the assault which took place on November 11, 2019 and told the court she was "disgusted" by her actions.
Rowland's husband Darren More, 31, was sick in the court as the details of his wife's crime was read out. He was handed a suspended sentence for his part in the drunken brawl, while his wife, who admitted wounding, was jailed for 14 months.
The injured landlady told the Liverpool Echo that she had decided against surgery to reconstruct her ear due to the eye-watering costs and that a prosthetic one made for her because she had to glue it on and it wasn't the same colour as her ear. She said that had made her feel really paranoid.
She also refused an alternative surgery which would have been highly invasive, because it involved taking cartilage from her ribs, which would then need to be drained, with three hospital stays involved.
