She said in a statement: "Officers located a 30-year-old male victim who had been assaulted at his apartment in the 300 block of Amber Street by a known male actor.
"According to the investigation, the victim and actor were arguing about President Donald Trump.
"The argument turned physical and the actor bit the victim's right ear off. The victim ran to a nearby gas station to seek help."
The part of his ear which was bitten off was found in his apartment later by cops.
