A New Mexico man was arrested this week after he bit off part of another man’s pinky and was hit by a car.

When 23-year-old Leandro Sage hit his girlfriend, her brother, 25-year-old Robert Martinez stepped in to defend her.

At some point during the fight, which occurred at an Albuquerque apartment, Sage was able to bite off the end of Martinez’s left pinkie finger.

Sage then ran from the apartment, but was chased by both his girlfriend and her brother. While running, Sage was hit by a car.

He was taken to the hospital, treated, and upon release, was arrested. It is unclear what charges Sage is facing.
