Police say a 24-year-old Nebraska man is missing a chunk of his right ear that was bitten off by a woman who didn't like being called "fat".

Police spokeswoman Katie Flood said officers were called to a Nebraska hospital around 3.25am Wednesday to talk to the injured man.

He told them that he'd been bitten at a party.

Flood said officers later learned that the injured man and two others had been arguing with other people at the birthday party. Flood says the man told 21-year-old Anna Godfrey that she was fat.

Officers said Godfrey then tackled the man and took a bite.

Flood said the ear chunk was not found.

Godfrey was arrested on suspicion of felony assault and remained in custody Wednesday. Case records don't yet list her attorney's name
