Taipei - A Taiwanese woman, suspecting her husband was having an affair with another woman, on Tuesday cut off his penis and flushed it down the toilet.
Her 51-year-old husband was rushed to hospital by his 17-year-old son and is in stable condition after surgeons stitched up his wound to stop the bleeding.
Police said the man - identified only by his surname Tsai - was sleeping at home in Tienmu, Taipei, when his wife cut off his penis.
She flushed the severed member down the toilet and fled. Their son, who was sleeping in another room, was awoken by his father's howling.
"I ran into his room and found my father rolling in his bed covered with blood. So I called for an ambulance and rushed my father to hospital," the son told reporters.
Doctors at the Municital Yangming Hospital stitched up Tsai's wound and said he is in stable condition.Police are hunting for Tsai's wife. - Sapa-DPA

Woman freed by court despite cutting off husband's penis
A woman who cut off her husband's penis with scissors after drugging him has been freed by a Hong Kong court.
Lam Yuk-kam pleaded guilty to one count of wounding with intent.
The 42-year-old had been in custody since the incident on March 4.
The court heard she cut off her husband's penis after discovering he'd had an affair and spent her money.
Justice Peter Nguyen said he was moved by the evidence and decided she'd spent enough time in jail. He sentenced her to nine months, so she was immediately released.
Defence lawyer Pamela Cheng told the court her client was suffering severe emotional depression at the time of the offence, the Hong Kong iMail reports.
The lawyer said Chu Chi-lik, a construction worker, who hadn't brought any money home since 1998, stole his wife's credit card and withdrew HK$190,000 ( £17,000). He also took her jewellery.
After a heated argument, he told his wife he would never go back to her and returned the next day to discuss their separation. His wife put some sleeping pills in his soup during the visit and he became drowsy.
She then grabbed a pair of scissors and lunged at him - cutting off his penis.
He was taken to hospital for emergency surgery to re-attach it. The court was told the penis is now fully operational.
