Police are investigating the violent incident as the trio were arrested on cannibalism charges after the fight turned gruesome.

Four men were reportedly arguing in an apartment Clichy-sous-Bois, Paris, on Sunday when the confrontation became violent at about 6pm.

Three of the men attacked the fourth when the row over money boiled over, reports Le Parisian.

It is claimed they ganged up on the other man and violently bit his lower-lip and ear.

The victim managed to fend off the attackers, wounding one in the leg, and call for help.

Police arrived and arrested three of the men for cannibalism – taking the victims and one of the men to hospital.

Detectives found they could not find pieces of flesh ripped off the man and assumed they had been ingested.

The victim was left “permanently” mutilated by the attack – with all four men being from Cape Verde, an island nation off West Africa.

Police sources told French media they believe the flesh may not have been swallowed “intentionally”.

The victim and one of the attackers remains in Montfermeil hospital.

Police have been given an extra 24 hours to interview the three suspects.
