Baby-faced spring breaker allegedly bites off man’s ear in Florida St. Paddy’s day brawl: ‘Traumatic auricular amputation’
He might be hearing from some attorneys.
A Florida spring breaker found himself behind bars after he allegedly bit off another man’s ear in a beachside St. Paddy’s Day brawl – à la Mike Tyson’s infamous 1997 match.
Jack Turner, 18, was arrested in Ft. Myers Beach after video emerged that appeared to show him tackling his acquaintance to the ground Monday around 5 p.m., then holding his face in the sand while drumming down blows from behind with clenched fists, according to police.
The baby-faced brawler appeared to hurl racial slurs at the target — identified as Juwan Black in a police report obtained by WFTX — before he charged him and pounced, cops said.
Once Black was down, Turner allegedly grabbed him by the hair, pulled his head up, and chomped on the ear — causing “traumatic auricular amputation,” the report read.
The video of the earratic assault was filmed by a bystander who later turned the footage over to police, Fox News reported.
A bystander eventually stepped in to break up the fight.
Exactly what sparked the fight remains unclear, but police confirmed that Turner and Black knew each other.
Black was taken to a hospital for treatment, while Turner was booked in the Lee County Jail.
He is charged with felony battery.
“Sheriff Carmine Marceno has ZERO tolerance for violence of any kind! Fort Myers Beach will continue to remain safe for all visitors and residents of Lee County!” Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno said in a statement.
