Police are searching for a man who left part of his ear on the pavement after it was bitten off in a fight.

West Yorkshire Police believe the man did not seek medical treatment following the incident which took place in Huddersfield at 9.20pm, and have urged him to come forward.

A photograph of the torn and bloodied rim and lobe of the ear, complete with diamond ear stud, was posted on Twitter but the victim has not yet been traced.
