Hazards at work, 1

An Italian musician who could not board his flight because of overbooking was so enraged that he assaulted a Turin airport worker and almost bit his ear off.

An airport spokesman said on Tuesday that a 41-year-old man had been due to fly to Naples with his band on Monday for a news conference to present a new tour.

But only six of the band's 11 members boarded the Alitalia plane, with the assailant and the others stranded in the northern city of Turin.

A row with airport workers ensued. The man was arrested for the attack on the airport worker, whose left ear lobe was left dangling after being almost bitten off.
