Man with Bitten Penis wanted by South Africa Police

 

A South African woman was sexually assaulted after she accepted a lift from two men in Mpumalanga province in South Africa, as she tried to reach a clinic with her child, five.

But instead of taking her a clinic she was driven into the bushes and raped at knifepoint, in the presence of her child. Under the pain of the bite, the rapist left the woman and escaped, police say.

The woman reported the case to the police and said she bit the rapist on the penis, hoping that the rapist would be apprehended when he seeks for medical assistance.  South African hospitals are therefore on the alert for a man with an injured penis after a pregnant woman managed to bite her rapist’s genitals as he assaulted her in front of her child.

They now hope his injuries will mean the man can be bought to justice.

“We appeal to all health institutions that should they found a man with an injured private part, they must as soon as possible contact Constable Solly Mabuza,” Mpumalanga police said in a statement.

The men, the statement says, were driving a white Toyota Tazz near the town of White River. They initially threatened the woman, who is three months pregnant, at gunpoint, warning her not to scream.

After she bit her attacker, he fled and was “currently not found”, the statement explained.

Rape and sexual assault remains a large problem for South Africa. According to Africa Check, more than 109 rapes were reported each day on average during 2016/17 – totalling 39,828 incidents.

However, the number had decreased slightly from the year before, when 41,503 rapes were recorded.
