Hungry customer bites grocer's ear off
A grocer had his ear bitten off by a hungry customer when he refused to let him have a free watermelon.
The Ukrainian man, not named for legal reasons, had demanded a watermelon at the shop in the Siberian town of Hanty Mansisk.
But when the shop assistant refused to hand over a fruit for free, he flew into a rage, jumped over the counter and bit off his ear.
Police who caught the blood stained attacker minutes later have charged him with grievious bodily harm and theft, saying: "We couldn't find the ear, we think he ate it.
"He is undergoing medical tests to confirm if he swallowed the piece of ear or not."
A Russian man was recently sentenced to four years in prison for biting off an ear of a bus driver in the Amur region during a row over a fare.
