A TEENAGER who sank his teeth into another man's ears, leaving him scarred for life, in a cold-blooded attack, is in detention for 12 months.
Burnley Crown Court heard that Stevie Brown, 17, had knocked victim Kevin Forrest to the ground and then repeatedly threatened: "I'm going to have your ears."
Mr Forrest, 19, suffered ragged lacerations to both ears and cartilage was left exposed.
He had to have plastic surgery and had been left "visibly blemished," after the attack in April.
Brown, of Warwick Drive, Padiham, had earlier admitted wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. He was given a detention and training order and the five months he has been on remand in custody will not be discounted.
