Thiruvananthapuram: In an offbeat news report, a man bit off the right ear of a sub-inspector while he was being taken in the police vehicle after being booked in a road rage incident in Thiruvananthapuram Kerala district, police said on Saturday, February 4.

Vishnu Prasad, the Sub Inspector of the Town Police Station, suffered injuries in the bizarre attack and sought immediate medical treatment on Thursday late night.

Steny Rodriguez, the accused, made noisy scenes on the road after his bike was involved in an accident and the patrolling police personnel took him into custody from the spot.  The Sub Inspector was sitting in the front seat of the vehicle when he was being taken to the police station.

In a fit of anger, Rodriguez, who was sitting just behind the front seat, quickly bitten off the right ear of Prasad and injured him.

After taken to a nearby hospital, the susub-inspectoras shifted to a private hospital later. The arrest of the accused was recorded, police added.
