Severed penis victim 'assisting' detectives | |
(about 13 hours later) | |
A man who had his penis severed in an attack on Teesside has been "assisting" officers attempting to establish how he came about his injuries. | |
The 40-year-old, who has not been named, remains in a stable condition in hospital after being found on the A66 in Middlesbrough early on 13 March. | |
After coming out of an induced coma, he was "too distressed" to speak to detectives until after the weekend. | |
A 22-year-old man arrested over the attack remains on bail. | |
Cleveland Police has appealed for any witnesses who have not come forward to do so. | |
A spokeswoman said: "Specially trained officers have visited the man on a number of occasions since his admittance to hospital and have spoken to him about his injuries and how he has come about them. | |
"He is engaging with these officers and is assisting them as he continues to undergo treatment and begin recovery." |
