A MAN has had his nose, upper lip and both ears ripped off in a "barbaric" attack outside a nightclub in northwestern England.
Only one of the 31-year-old victim's ears was recovered at the scene and he will need plastic surgery, the Liverpool Echo reported overnight.
Describing CCTV footage of the attack, which happened outside Funky Box nightclub early Saturday, police officer Stuart Moore likened it to a lion "wrenching the flesh from a gazelle."
"It is horrific, sickening and it is almost barbaric what takes place," Mr Moore said. "Before fleeing to Subway on Bold Street to wash off blood, the attacker was said to have kicked his victim as he lay propped up against a wall."
A 28-year-old local man charged with assault was remanded in custody to appear at Liverpool Crown Court on November 28. Another man, 27, arrested on suspicion of assault was bailed until November pending further enquiries.
The venue had its license suspended by the city council acting on police advice.
City center chief inspector Mark Morgan said, "Police take a zero-tolerance approach to violence and crime in licensed premises in the city center."
