Man, 42, Bites Teen's Fingers During Drunken Dispute: Police

HACKETTSTOWN, N.J.– Hackettstown police said they arrested two drunk township men who got into a fight, which included finger biting and punches.

Officers responded to a Main Street resident at around 3:05 p.m. on Friday and saw an unnamed 18-year-old man with cuts on his fingers, Sgt. Darren Tynan said.

The teen was in the bathroom when the other man, 42, entered and bit the former's fingers, Tynan said.

Once the 42-year-old was back in the living room, the teen punched him in the face, according to Tynan.

The responding officers came to the opinion that both men were drunk, Tynan said.

According to Tynan, the men were arrested and charged with simple assault and were being held at the Warren County Correctional Facility in lieu of $2,500 bail.
