Newtown Man Found Guilty of Biting Off Ear in Bar Fight

A Newtown Borough man has been found guilty of biting another man’s ear off during a fight at a Newtown Township bar in March.

The Bucks County Courier Times reports that James W. Worthington, 24, on Wednesday was found guilty of aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person during the incident at the Green Parrot.

Worthington’s sentencing was deferred until after his trial for a February assault on his then-girlfriend, the Courier Times reported.

Worthington was arrested in April after a month-long investigation into the incident.

A portion of victim’s right ear, which police said was “violently torn from his body,” was found in the parking lot of the bar after the altercation. In addition to losing his ear, which police say is “irreparably damaged,” the victim, a 28-year-old Northampton man, sustained human bites to his face and neck.
