Dec. 19--A man bit off a part of a security guard's ear during a fight outside of a strip club in the South Loop early Friday morning, police said.
The man was leaving the Pink Monkey in the 700 block of South Clinton Street around 1:45 a.m. when he started making derogatory comments about the club's service, according to police.
The man started banging on the glass of the club's door and a security guard told him to stop, police said. The man then started swinging his fist at the guard, police said.
The two ended up on the ground fighting and the man bit off the top of the guard's left ear, police said.
The guard was taken to Rush University Medical Center where doctors attempted to reattach the ear, authorities said.
The man was taken to John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County with several bruises from the fight, police said. Charges were pending.
