MANCHESTER, NH – A city man was arrested Wednesday night after police determined he allegedly bit off a piece of a bouncer’s finger during an altercation inside an Elm Street bar.
Police were called to McGarvey’s, 1097 Elm St., at approximately 9:40 p.m. on Sept. 26 for a disturbance. Gregory Geneus, 37, was arrested once officers discovered he was responsible for biting off the finger of the bar bouncer, who attempted to remove Geneus from the bar.
According to police the victim, age 30, was attempting to remove Geneus from the bar when Geneus allegedly struck the bouncer with a closed fist more than once.
