Surgeons battling to save a man's penis after he hacked it off in a restaurant have sewn it back on - in the first operation of its kind in the UK.
Stunned witnesses told how the man jumped up onto a table, dropped his trousers and cut his penis off in front of horrified diners in a packed pizza restaurant.
Police sprayed the deranged man with CS gas before recovering his lost organ from the restaurant floor.
Surgeons at St Thomas's Hospital have attempted to reattach his missing appendage, but have not yet confirmed whether it was a success.
The Royal College of Surgeons said that it was the first time that the operation had been attempted in this country.
The 35 year-old Polish man seized a knife from the kitchen before slicing off his manhood in Zizzi's pizza restaurant on the Strand on Sunday evening, stunning the runners and spectators who had flocked to the eaterie after the London marathon.
A witness described how diners who had been enjoying meal screamed and fled as the man waved the knife in the air, and several people were treated for shock after witnessing the horrific spectacle.
Ok, that must have hurt!
