Ouch! Maryland Cop Faces Assault Charges For Biting Testicles Of Bar Goer

A confrontation over a woman while celebrating Cinco de Mayo led to 31-year-old Michael Flaig of Anne Arundel County in Maryland allegedly biting the testicles of another man. For that bite, Flaig, a police officer, is facing second-degree assault and public intoxication charges.

The victim confronted Flaig at the Looney’s Pub on Tuesday night about the latter touching his female friend and roommate. The woman was resisting Flaig’s unwanted sexual advances, reports NBC.

After the victim left the bar before midnight, the cop and another unidentified man jumped on him and bit him on his testicles, reports the New York Daily News. The incident happened at alley behind the pub.

Flaig tried to hit the victim on the face, but the latter managed to dodge and subdue the attacker on the ground. However, the second man hit the victim, but Flaig was still unable to free from the straddle, so the cop bit the victim on his crotch.

Thomas Bourne, a witness to the attack, disclosed, “The bitee actually got the better of him in the fist fight. After we broke them up is when he discovered he’d been bitten in the testicles,” quotes NBC. Bourne adds the victim was bleeding in his crotch area and said he needed medical assistance. Other officers who saw Flaig in another bar described him as having blood-shot eyes, slurred speech and reeked of alcohol.

Timothy Altomare, chief of police of Anne Arundel County, promised to cooperate with the Baltimore Police Department which is investigating the testicle-biting incident. He called the charges disturbing.

Altomare also reminded all cops of their obligation to be professional on and off duty. He also suspended Flaig’s police powers and placed him on paid administrative duty.
