Donald Wright, 62, was arrested for attempted assault and harassment yesterday for allegedly biting the left ear of a 65-year-old man inside Borden Avenue Veterans Residence at around 7:35 a.m., according to police.

Wright allegedly approached the victim in a fighting stance inside the 21-10 Borden Ave. location and then bit him, causing lacerations to his ear, police said.

The victim was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in stable condition where he received multiple stitches, police said. A report on the safety alert app Citizen stated that the victim’s ear had been bitten right off.

Wright and the victim are both residents of the shelter, cops said.

Police said they do not know what sparked the incident or if the two men had been arguing beforehand.
