The man is in serious condition at the Pamela Youde Eastern Hospital |
A 42-year-old Filipino driver is in serious condition at the
hospital where he was rushed after cutting off his penis and throwing it into a
toilet yesterday, Oct. 22, in his Shau Kei Wan flat.
Reports say the Filipino named Andy was found by his live-in
girlfriend at about 7:30am in the room they shared on Ngoi Man Street , bleeding heavily and
without his penis.
The woman yelled for help and a male neighbor called the
police. When the paramedics came, the man reportedly told them he had flushed
his missing penis down the toilet.
He was rushed to Pamela
Youde Nethersole Eastern Hospital in Chai Wan where he remains
under observation.
Initial investigations revealed the man was depressed, but
the cause was not revealed.
The police classified the case as a suicide attempt although
no suicide note was found.
A neighbor told The SUN Andy had been upset for some time
because his penis had begun to swell for reasons that are still not clear. He
reportedly asked a woman who lived in the same boarding house to go with him to
the hospital to have it checked but she refused, saying she was embarrassed.
All the other people living in the boarding house reportedly did not have any clue as to why Andy had gone to the extreme of cutting off his penis. – with a report by Merly Bunda
