A MAN had surgery to re-attach his testicles after his girlfriend allegedly bit them off.
Maria Georgina Topp, 43, has appeared in court accused of the gruesome attack on Martin Douglas.
Martin, 45, had to dial 999 for an ambulance but was in so much pain it was difficult for operators to understand what he was saying. The couple had returned to his flat after a drunken night out when the attack is said to have happened at 4am.
Paramedics who arrived contacted police due to the severity of his *injuries and Topp was arrested.
Self-employed DJ Martin needed emergency surgery after the incident in Newcastle and spent days recovering from injuries to his genitals and an arm before he was released from hospital.
Mum-of-four Topp, of nearby Gateshead, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm.
A court granted her bail on condition she did not enter the city or approach Martin. A Northumbria Police spokesman said: ââ¬ÅAt around 4am on Friday, February 18, police were called to a report of an assault.
ââ¬ÅOfficers arrested a 43-year-old woman on suspicion of assault. A 45-year-old man was taken to the Freeman Hospital for treatment to injuries to his arm and groin area.
ââ¬ÅPolice have since charged Maria Georgina Topp, 43, with causing GBH.ââ¬Â Topp will appear again at Newcastle crown court next month.
