Phillip Lodge "It's quite clear that an argument started and that was broke up but in the early hours of the following morning you decided to go back and the argument continued. It spilled out into the street and went from an argument into violence. "You accept you started with the first push and matters escalated into a fight and it is quite clear, that despite efforts to break it up, it continued. "The scuffle escalated when you decided to use your teeth as a weapon and to bite down extremely hard on the victim's ear. "The single bite tore off a large part of his ear and you spat it out on the street."
