A man was taken into custody Thursday morning after biting a Broward Sheriff deputy’s ear at a Pompano Beach gas station, officials say.

Shortly before 9 a.m., deputies responded to a disturbance call at RaceTrac gas station, located at 599 W. Atlantic Blvd.

BSO deputies say they located a man, who has not been identified, became “irate” and attacked two deputies, biting one of them in the ear.

Both deputies took themselves to the hospital for non-life threatening injuries.

It is unclear what charges the man will face.
