Virginia Police said that a New York man is accused of biting the ear of his friend and spitting it out on Interstate 95 during an argument.
Spotsylvania County dispatchers received calls at 8:02 am Thursday from drivers on I-95 indicating that a man was running in and out of traffic near mile marker 121 and had blood running down his shoulder.
Captain Jeff Pearce of the Spotsylvania County Sheriff's Office said officers found the victim on the right shoulder of the southbound lanes of the interstate near mile marker 123, north of Thornburg.
