A commercial pilot is suing a downtown Denver hotel after a bat allegedly sunk its teeth into his foot, leaving him with a bite he claims cost him more than $100,000 in medical bills.

The pilot, who has not been publicly identified because he fears professional repercussions, alleges he was awakened in the middle of the night by bats flying through his room, CBS Colorado reports.
