A WOMAN who chewed off part of a man's ear after he called her fat was given two years' probation yesterday.
Anna Martin met Nicholas Dott in Kushion nightclub in Glasgow, last June, a court heard.
They later went to a nearby hotel to spend the night, but Martin, 27, decided to leave minutes after entering their room.
An argument then broke out between the pair and Mr Dott made a jibe about the woman's weight.
She suddenly lunged forward and sank her teeth into Mr Dott's ear, leaving him badly disfigured.
At an earlier hearing at Glasgow Sheriff Court, Martin, of Bearsden, admitted the attack.
Mr Dott was rushed to hospital and initially the severed part of his ear was reattached. The court heard, however, that the piece later became detached again.
It is expected that Mr Dott will need plastic surgery.
Martin was later traced by police after the assault was captured on CCTV.
