Let’s Hope Raider Fan Isn’t Rabid : Football: San Diego man has ear surgically reattached after having it bitten off in bar fight.

Surgeons successfully reattached a football fan’s ear after an Oakland Raider supporter bit it off during a fight at a sports bar, police said.

Michael J. Burrows, 45, was released from the UC San Diego Medical Center on Monday after surgeons rejoined the 2-inch by 1-inch piece.

Police said Burrows and Carl Anthony Ditmars, 30, scuffled on the floor at Fat Freddie’s in San Diego on Sunday after the Chargers’ game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Ditmars is an avid Raider fan who “let everyone know about it,” witnesses said. The Raiders defeated the Chargers in the opening week of the season, and Burrows told Ditmars to wait until the Chargers again played the Raiders when Ditmars allegedly attacked.

Police were told Ditmars bit off the large piece of Burrows’ right ear and then spit it back into his face.

Several witnesses followed Ditmars out of the bar and held him for officers. He was arrested for investigation of mayhem and jailed in lieu of $20,000 bail, police said.
