HOUSTON -- A deaf man has been accused of biting off part of another deaf man's ear.
Davon Stewart, 26, has been charged with aggravated assault and escape while under arrest.
Houston police said Stewart was attending a party at a deaf friend's apartment on Feb. 21.
Stewart, who can speak if needed, and the other man, who communicates through sign language, got into an argument because Stewart interrupted the other man, investigators said.
The man tried to get Stewart, who appeared to be intoxicated, to calm down, police said. The man ended up pouring a bottle of malt liquor on Stewart to try to get him to pay attention, investigators said.
The man tried to escort Stewart out of the apartment. Stewart pushed the man's girlfriend and Stewart and the man got into a physical fight, police said.
During the fight, Stewart bit off part of the man's ear, investigators said.
Stewart then fled on foot, but was hit by a Dodge Durango, police said.
Stewart was taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital Southwest for treatment of a leg injury.
While at the hospital, Stewart told police that his name was Tyrone Banks, investigators said. Charged were filed against him under the fake name, and he was handcuffed to a wheelchair while he waited to get an X-ray, detectives said.
Police said that Stewart managed to escape while he was waiting in line for the X-ray.
The victim told police that Stewart had given them a fake name. He gave them Stewart's real name, and they confirmed it through mug shots taken during previous arrests.
Stewart was arrested and booked into the Harris County Jail with bond set at $60,000.
