A Bournemouth man's been jailed for nine years, for biting off the nose of another man and punching him outside a bar.
28 year old Kyle Fidler admitted wounding with intent in connection with an attack in Holdenhurst Road in June, and has been sentenced at Bournemouth Crown Court.
The defendant and the victim, a man aged in his 20s, met in a bar, leading to an altercation where the victim was pushed to the floor.
They then fought outside where the victim was punched in the face multiple times and had his nose bitten off - he was taken to hospital for treatment for severe facial injuries.
Fidler was arrested by officers later that evening.
Detective Constable Natasha Beaufils, of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole CID, said:
“Following a robust and proactive response from our officers, we were able to identify Fidler, bring him into custody and hold him to account for his actions.
“Violent behaviour such as this will not be tolerated in Dorset and we will do all we can to identify those responsible and bring them before the court.”
