A dad who said he was attacked by a complete stranger in a takeaway found part of his severed ear on the floor.
Darren Melling, 39, from Old Swan, had travelled back from London where he watched Everton play Brentford on August 27, when he went to meet his cousin for a drink in the Bongo's Bingo bar. After not being able to get into the bar as it was busy, he went for a drink nearby and then decided to call it a night. Darren went to Hot Chillis takeaway on Berry Street just after midnight to pick up some food for him and his wife.
The dad-of-three told The ECHO : "I wanted to meet my cousin for a drink in town because me, the wife, and the kids hadn't been very well in the weeks before and I wanted something normal, and this was normal.
