Police in Springfield, Massachusetts arrested the assistant coach of a youth basketball team after he went Mike Tyson on the coach of the other team, biting off part of his ear, instead of shaking his hand.

34-year-old Timothy Lee Forbes was identified by authorities yesterday and he pleaded not guilty. He’ll have a dangerousness hearing on Friday in which he’ll attempt to seek bail.

The incident occurred during a Catholic Youth Organization game between teams of fifth- and sixth-graders last Friday. Forbes is facing charges that include mayhem and assault and battery.
