An Indian man has had his penis reattached after the angry husband of the woman he was allegedly having an affair with, chopped it off.
Jagdish Jeevan Baria from Rajkherwa village in Gujarat was returning home from a Hindu religious ceremony when the husband and his friends attacked him.
The attacker cut off the 18-year-old's penis with a sword before placing it in his pocket.
Doctors managed to reattach the organ after a nine-hour operation at the SSG Hospital in Vadodara.
It is thought less than 50 operations of its kind have been performed worldwide.
Dr Sandeep Sharma told The Times of India: "He came in 13 hours after the incident occurred.
"Luckily for him, his attacker put the severed penis in his pocket and the doctor he first went to in Sankheda advised his relatives to put the organ in a clean plastic bag. We are hoping for a favourable outcome to the surgery."
