A teen father in the Northern California town of Fairfield, was arrested for a playing the 'got your nose' trick for keeps; he bit the tip of his infant son's nose off.


Joshua Cooper, 19, was arrested and taken to the Solano County Jail on suspicion of child cruelty and aggravated mayhem.

According to the sad story from CBS News, police received a call by a distraught woman who said her baby was bleeding from his nose.

It was later determined by doctors that the child suffered multiple injuries and that one third of the child's nose had been severed - allegedly by Cooper biting it off.

The child is in stable condition at Oakland Children's Hospital.
