A LORRY driver had his ear bitten off after a row outside a Morecambe bar.

The 38-year-old man had a conversation with another man, who then frisked him. The driver frisked him back and was attacked when the other man took offence.

Three other men joined the fight and the driver's ear was completely bitten off.

The men were all described as male and white. The first attacker was said to be around 25-years-old, wearing a light coloured shirt. The second man was described as approximately 30-years-old, of fat build wearing a very pale denim shirt with light coloured pinstripes.

All four men are believed to have been in Maggies Bar on Springfield Street before the attack, which took place at around 2.15 am and Tuesday, August 1.

Police have appealed for witnesses, who can call the confidential crimestoppers number on 0800 555 111.
