ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) An Attleboro police officer responding to a domestic disturbance call was hospitalized after a man partially bit off his ear during an ensuing scuffle, officials said.

Doctors at Rhode Island Hospital in Providence, R.I., were to reattach a part of the Officer Joseph Enegren's ear found after the 6 p.m. incident on Tuesday, according to the Boston Herald.

Daniel Berghman, whose family says suffers from bipolar disorder, faced charges on Wednesday including resisting arrest, assault and battery on a police officer and disturbing the peace, officials said.

''It was an incident that should have never happened,'' Earl Berghman, Daniel's father, told WLVI-TV. ''Now my son is probably going to get the brunt of it, and it wasn't his fault.''

He said Enegren, a 17-year veteran of the force, cornered his son, which led to the bite.
