DUBAI // A 24-year-old man who bit off part of another man’s ear has been jailed for six months.
Prosecutors said unemployed Emirati M M assaulted compatriot A A on June 22, in Al Muhaisnah.
M M is said to have beaten up A A, who was drunk at the time, before biting his ear.
The reason for the fight was not disclosed in court.
Policeman F M said that after receiving a report about a fight, he found the victim covered in bruises.
“I asked him who had done it to him and he said M M, so we arrested the man, who confessed but didn’t say why,” F M said.
M M did not enter a plea at an earlier hearing. On Tuesday he was jailed for assault causing a permanent disability.
