Man Bit Off Part Of Fellow Mourner's Nose At Drunken Wake In Nova Scotia

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Oct, 2016 01:32 PM
    PICTOU, N.S. — A Nova Scotia judge has convicted a man of aggravated assault for biting off part of a fellow mourner's nose in a drunken brawl at a wake.
     
    Judge Del Atwood found Randall Edwin MacLean guilty of aggravated assault, but made it clear many people behaved badly at the 2014 wake in downtown Pictou, N.S.
     
    MacLean, an old friend of the deceased, arrived at the wake drunk, but he wasn't the only one.
     
    After an alcohol-fuelled argument, a group of men attempted to eject MacLean from the house, and he bit the tip of another man's nose during the brawl.
     
    MacLean claimed he bit the nose to keep himself upright as he was being attacked, but Atwood didn't buy that theory, saying nobody keeps their balance with their teeth.
     
    But Atwood added that MacLean had done nothing to warrant being "manhandled" as he was.
