Man Charged With Biting Another Man At North Station

BOSTON (CBS) - Police have arrested a man for allegedly biting another man on the arm at North Station -- apparently for no reason.

On Thursday, a man showed police a bleeding human bite mark on his arm and pointed out a man, later identified as Edwin Meleciano, 34, of Dorchester, as the man who bit him. The victim said he didn't know why he was bitten, but added the Meleciano had been harassing him on the platform.
