Thuringia: The dispute ends with a bitten off ear
More than 20 years ago, Mike Tyson caused a tangible scandal in the boxing world: In the fight against Evander Holyfield, “Iron Mike” bit off his opponent’s ear and achieved worldwide fame. In the Thuringian town of Thamsbrück, the former boxing world champion now seems to have found an imitator: A dispute between two men there also ended with a bitten off ear.
Thamsbrück: Man loses his ear in a scuffle
On Saturday evening, a 53-year-old and a 41-year-old clashed in the district of Bad Langensalza. Before that, the two men had been partying together. For either of them, the argument would result in a painful loss.
Eyewitnesses reported that the initial verbal argument quickly turned into a scuffle between the two men. During the tussle, the 41-year-old suddenly bit down and tore a piece out of the ear of his older companion.

The 53-year-old then dragged himself home with a bleeding wound, from where his wife immediately drove him to the hospital in Bad Langensalza. However, he had to be transferred to the hospital in Erfurt for treatment. He could leave this again that night.
The police opened an investigation into the case on Sunday. During an assessment of the crime scene, the officers also found the bitten off part of the ear.
The 41-year-old suspect was found at home by the police and taken to have blood drawn. The investigation into this case is still ongoing. (jda)
