A man had part of his ear bitten off during an Eagles of Death Metal concert over the weekend in Toronto.

The incident took place at around 12:30 a.m. Sunday during a performance for Canadian Music Week at the Opera House on Queen Street East near Broadview Avenue..

An official from the venue said both men involved were detained and the man accused of doing the biting was arrested and charged with aggravated assault.

Toronto police confirmed that part of a male concert-goer's ear was bitten off and one man was charged. The victim was rushed to hospital. Police refused to release any more details.

Canadian music journalist Alan Cross said the ear was picked up by security at the venue. It's not yet clear if the ear was reattached to its owner.

The Eagles of Death Metal is the same band that was playing at Le Bataclan during the November 2015 Paris attacks. The group was in Toronto to launch an Ontario-brewed beer called Boots Electric India Pale Ale.
