The man's girlfriend says he didn't bite the phone, he was just nibbling on it because he likes to put things in his mouth. Might be time for her to find a new boyfriend.
From Storyful News:
“I’m the person involved,” she wrote. “…I haven’t been disfigured; thanks for your concern. He didn’t [bite the battery] because he wanted to test its authenticity; actually my partner just has the habit of putting things into his mouth and nibbling on them. I’m okay, just my bangs were burnt a little bit. My first reaction was ‘Are my eyebrows okay?’”
Phone batteries are a no-no in the mouth.
