Home Invader Bites off Reporter’s Ear

Via The New Zealand Herald:

In a truly bizarre crime, a man invaded newspaper journalist Doug Laing’s home, attacked him and bit his ear.

"Laing was at his home soon after midnight yesterday when a man smashed his way in and attacked him, biting part of his ear off."

Fortunately, the ear part was found in time to be sown back on.

"Police found the piece of Laing's ear on a blood-spattered duvet and rushed it to Hawke's Bay Hospital, where a surgeon sewed it back on."

Just a reminder, this is not the first time someone’s ear was bitten off by a criminal.
