A former Spalding man launched an unprovoked attack on the dance floor at Loaded by biting another man’s eyebrow.
James Chinn (34) continued biting Jamie Gilbertson for 30 seconds to a minute as bystanders punched Chinn’s face to try to get him to release his grip, Spalding magistrates heard.
The bite resulted in “a chunk of skin” being removed from the victim’s eyebrow.
Rebecca Ritson, prosecuting, said the assault happened in the early hours of Sunday, June 9.
Mr Gilbertson was at the Spalding nightclub with his girlfriend and friends.
Miss Ritson said CCTV footage confirmed the attack was unprovoked.
Chinn came out of nowhere and bit Mr Gilbertson’s eyebrow and latched on to his face for some time.
Mr Gilbertson said the incident lasted for about a minute while other witnesses said it was half that time.
Miss Ritson said Mr Gilbertson tried to push Chinn off and, because that didn’t work, others intervened and punched Chinn to the face to try to release his bite.
Bouncers arrived and ejected everyone.
Miss Ritson said: “Mr Chinn had a lot of blood coming from his mouth, although Mr Chinn was not injured the bouncers assumed he had been assaulted.”
She said Chinn admitted the assault when interviewed by police, but said he didn’t know why he had bitten Mr Gilbertson.
Chinn, formerly of Livingstone Drive, Spalding, now lives in Hatcham Road, Kingstanding, Birmingham.
He pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Gilbertson, causing actual bodily, and sentence was adjourned to August 1.
Solicitor Stuart Wild, for Chinn, asked for the case to be adjourned for a pre-sentence report and to give him time to obtain a medical report from Chinn’s GP.
