KANSAS CITY, Missouri - Police say a man bit an officer and his dog Friday after trying to stiff a cab driver on an early morning fare.
Mark. A McClarty, 28, of Kansas City, Kansas, was charged Friday with assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest and stealing.
Capt. Rich Lockhart said the suspect broke the skin on an officer's hand when he bit him. The man then nearly bit the ear off the police dog.
Lockhart said a cab driver told a police officer at 2:15 a.m. that someone had refused to pay a fare. When the officer found the man nearby and got out of his car to stop him, Lockhart said, but the man spun around and punched the officer.
Lockhart said the officer used a remote control to release his police dog from the patrol car, and the dog joined the fight. After the dog bit the suspect, the man bit back and nearly took off the dog's ear.
The suspect also bit the policeman's hand before other officers arrived and used a Taser stun gun to subdue him.
The officer was treated at a hospital, while the dog's ear was reattached by a veterinarian.
