DETECTIVES are hunting the owner of a severed piece of ear after it was bitten of in a fight and left lying on a street - complete with diamond stud.

The gruesome discovery was made after revellers broke into a fight yesterday while partying in Huddersfield in the UK.

Concerned detectives say there is one man in the town still missing a piece of his ear - as no one has come forward to claim it.

Despite suffering the horrific injury and losing a lot of blood, the man is thought to have fled the scene leaving detectives worried he hasn’t sought medical help.

The ear is thought to have been bitten off as a fracas broke out at 9.20pm in the town centre.

Police were straight on the scene only to find the victim had left, and despite extensive inquiries he is still to be traced.

Two men aged 37 and 45 have since been arrested on suspicion of wounding.

Detective Inspector Ian Thornes, of Huddersfield CID, said: “This person has suffered a serious injury during a street disturbance during which the top part of his ear has been bitten off.

“The severed part of his ear was recovered from the scene containing a diamond stud.

“Checks have been carried out and it would appear this man has not been treated at hospital despite suffering significant blood loss which was noted at the scene.

“It is imperative he seeks medical attention and gets in touch with us.”

Police are urging the victim to seek medical help immediately and believe the attack will have been witnessed by partygoers enjoying the bank holiday weekend.

They are keen to speak to anyone who saw what happened.

Det Insp Thornes added: “We are treating this incident as isolated. We would urge anyone who witnessed the incident or the aftermath to get in touch.”
