MANHATTAN — A drag queen pulled a "Mike Tyson" by allegedly biting off the ear of a male model during an argument at a popular Midtown bar on Sunday, according to media reports.
James Leahy, 26, who calls his alter-ego Jane Lane, allegedly attacked model Ronnie Brown at High Bar on 48th Street, threw a glass at him and bit part of Brown's ear completely off.
"[Leahy] pulled away with blood in his mouth and someone said my ear was bleeding," Brown, 25, said in an e-mail, according to Gawker. "I reached for it and half was gone."
Leahy, who works as a promotions coordinator for AIDS Walk New York, was arrested for felony assault and subsequently released without bail, according to the Daily News.
Leahy reportedly told friends that he acted in self-defense, according to the News.
