Part of a man’s ear was bitten off in a fight at a night club in Northbridge this morning.

Police officers were called to the Villa Night Club in Stirling Street about 2.15am in relation to two groups of people fighting.

Police media’s Samuel Dinnison said officers attended and dispersed the groups, however while there, they were told of a person who had part of their ear bitten off inside the venue.

The person was no longer there and had been taken away by ambulance.

Further investigation led detectives to Royal Perth Hospital where a 21-year-old man was receiving treatment.
