Authorities say a man bit off part of his brother's ear after they began fighting during a party.
The Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester reports say that police say 27-year-old Sean Fallon-Nebbia was hosting the party during the NFL's Super Bowl championship Sunday.
A roommate told police the brothers had been drinking before they started roughhousing after the game, and the tussle turned violent. Police say Fallon-Nebbia bit off part of 26-year-old Frank Fallon-Nebbia's right ear and punched him several times in the face, knocking him out.
The younger brother was treated at a Rochester hospital.
The older brother is being held in Monroe County Jail on USD 15,000 bail after pleading not guilty yesterday to first-degree assault, a felony. It couldn't immediately be determined if he has a lawyer.
