Man cut off penis in restaurant
A man cut off his penis with a knife in a packed restaurant in central
London.
Police had to use CS gas to restrain the man in the Zizzi pizza restaurant
in The Strand, reports the BBC.
He was taken to hospital in south London where surgeons were reportedly
unable to reattach his penis.
A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said he was aged between 30 and 40 and
confirmed his injuries were self-inflicted.
A spokeswoman for Zizzi said the man was not thought to have any connection
with the restaurant.
She said: "At around 9pm on Sunday, a man walked into the Zizzi restaurant
on The Strand, down the stairs to the basement restaurant area and tried to
enter a kitchen.
"Members of staff stopped him, at which he ran into a second kitchen area.
"The man then picked up a kitchen knife and slashed himself across the
wrist and groin areas before running back into the restaurant, where he
continued to stab himself.
"This happened in a matter of seconds and was obviously extremely
frightening and distressing for the many customers and staff in the
restaurant at the time."
She added: "Apart from the man, we understand that no-one else suffered any
physical injuries."
You would have thought that cutting his bit of you wouldn't need the CS to
diable him.
