SALT LAKE CITY — A 22-year-old Salt Lake man was charged Wednesday with felony mayhem for allegedly biting off a piece of another man's nose, court documents state.
The second-degree felony count of mayhem, domestic-violence related, was filed in 3rd District Court after a Sunday incident involving Joshua Michael Bowen, 22.
A statement by police says Bowen became angry and attacked the father of his girlfriend. He is accused of biting the other man on the nose, taking off a piece of it and then putting his finger in the man's mouth to rip the side of it open.
The girlfriend's 20-month-old daughter was home at the time, resulting in the domestic violence enhancement.
