GLENS FALLS (AP) -- Authorities say doctors at an upstate New York hospital have been able to reattach a bar employee's finger after it was bitten off by a man being removed from the tavern.
Police tell the Post-Star of Glens Falls that 38-year-old Ernest Vannier of Fort Ann was tossed out of The Daily Double in Glens Falls early Sunday morning because he was found to be engaging in a sex act with a woman in the bar's smoking room.
Officials say as he was being escorted out by bar employees, Vannier bit off one of the worker's pinky fingers.
The finger was reattached by doctors at Glens Falls Hospital.
Vannier was charged with assault. It couldn't be immediately determined if he was being held in jail or if he had a lawyer.
