"It was apparent [Hall] had been assaulted as he had a significant injury above his left eye," the incident report reads. "There was a significant cut to his left eyebrow region in the shape of a bite."

Deputies said Oates allegedly attacked Hall for refusing to testify on his behalf in a case involving a charge of supplying alcohol to minors.

The arrest report said Oates was still at the home when deputies arrived and they had to use a Taser to subdue him.

Oates was charged with felony assault and resisting arrest.

The incident evoked 1982 rock hit "Maneater" by Daryl Hall and John Oates.
