Casualty star’s ear bitten off at Travelodge hotel
Former Casualty actor Clive Mantle had part of his ear bitten off during an alleged attack at a Travelodge in Newcastle.
The actor, who played surgeon Mike Barrett, had to have the top part of his right ear sewn back on by surgeons following the incident in the early hours of Sunday morning during which he asked other guests to keep the noise down, reports the Daily Mail.
A spokesman for his agent, London-based Sarahband Associates, said: "He is very shaken and shocked by what has happened, you don’t expect this kind of thing to happen in a hotel."
A 32-year-old man from Hamilton, in South Lanarkshire, has been charged with wounding with intent.
He is due to appear before magistrates next month.
Another man has been released on bail in connection with the incident while a third man has been released without charge.
Travelodge released the following statement this morning: "As this is a live police investigation, we cannot offer any further comment at this stage, but we can confirm we are working very closely to assist Northumbria Police with their investigation.
"Travelodge’s number one priority is the health and safety of customers and staff, and we do not tolerate any form of harmful behaviour on our premises towards our customers or staff members."
