A man in China has been saved after allegedly getting his manhood stuck in a wrench by accident.
The man’s private parts had already been swollen – due to blood flow restriction – when he was taken to the hospital earlier this week.
Firefighters and doctors spent two hours removing the wrench off the man using a disc cutter.

According to Guangzhou Daily, the man, whose identity has not been revealed, was taken to Shiji People’s Hospital in Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, by firefighters on October 10 morning.
He did not want to explain why he had had his penis stuck in a wrench.
Doctors tried to cut off the wrench, however the material was too hard and would not break.
Guangzhou firefighters first used a ring cutter to make two incisions at the side of the wrench.
However, the battery-powered tool was not powerful enough and its blades were worn out.

According to the doctors, the man’s penis had been swollen due to the pressure.
Rescuers decided to use a disc cutter to cut off the wrench while covering the man’s lower body with wet towel as protection.
Footage shows flames and sparkles splashed as the blades hit the wrench.
The man was freed after a two-hour rescue effort. He was said to sustain no injuries.
Doctors said if the rescue had been delayed, the man could have suffered necrosis on his penis.
