JUNEAU, Alaska - Someone bit off a piece of an Alaska man's nose, and police want to find the assailant -- except the victim refuses to talk about it, authorities say.

The unnamed 40-year-old was missing the tip of his nose when police in Juneau answered a call about a possible assault about 2 a.m. Tuesday, the Anchorage Daily News reported.

He said he was attacked by one or more people in a downtown park but refused to give specifics, police spokeswoman Cindee Brown-Mills said.

"There was lots of blood and he was holding towels to his face," Brown-Mills said.

Police say they suspect alcohol was involved in the assault.

A search of the park found the missing part of the nose, which was rushed to a local hospital where doctors worked to reattach it.

It was uncertain if the surgery was successful, the Daily News said.

It was Dangerous Dan McGrew who strode Into the Red Dog Saloon.

When a drunkard there, spilled beer on him and acted like a goon.

But Dangerous Dan, a hell of a man, knew exactly how to treat this lout.

He grabbed his ears, turned his head, and bit off a piece of his snout.

parsy, who is glad to be of “Service”

[decisis]

Hmmmmm, smells fishy.
