Police say man bit off son's lip

A 26-year-old Lowell, Mass., man faces child abuse charges for biting off his 22-month-old son's bottom lip, police said.

Thy Chan, 26, was arrested after the incident last Sunday. Police Superintendent Kenneth Lavallee said that officers were called to a Lowell apartment after someone called 911 to report that the child's lip had been bitten off.



Responding officers found the child covered in blood, but found his bottom lip, which they gave to paramedics who rushed the boy to the hospital. Doctors at Children's Hospital in Boston attempted to reattach the lip.

Chan was found in an upstairs bedroom acting erratically. Police said they
believe he was under the influence of ecstasy.
