OKLAHOMA CITY (KFOR) — Oklahoma City Police have released body cam footage after part of a man's finger was bitten off at a metro area gas station.

Body cam footage also captured an interview with the victim, who told police that he had seen Lopez one time before the incident. According to the victim, Lopez was naked when he approached him and jumped on him after the victim told him to leave.
The victim goes on to say his finger got caught in Lopez's mouth while he had a hand in his face attempting to push him off during the fight. Lopez allegedly bit down on the victim's finger repeatedly and then swallowed the bitten-off part of the finger.
