Gardaí are following a definite line of inquiry after a student had one of his ears bitten off during a savage early morning assault.

Detectives were waiting yesterday for medical clearance to interview the victim of the crazed attack in Cork City in the early hours of yesterday.

The 22-year-old CIT student from Ballincollig was among a group of young men when a row erupted in a fast-food outlet on South Main St at around 2.45am. The row spilled outside, where the student received several punches to his face.
