Firefighters remove metal ring stuck on man's penis

KUALA LUMPUR: Firefighters rescued a man whose penis was stuck in a metal ring.
City Fire and Rescue Department chief operations officer Samsol Maarif Saibani said that 12 firefighters were dispatched to University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) after a distress call was received at about 9pm on Friday from the hospital.
"When our personnel reached the ward, the man was already in agonising pain.
"The firefighters encountered problems in removing the metal ring at first, as it was too thick to cut through," he said in a statement today.
He said the blade of the tool used to cut through the ring was blunt too.
"We immediately alerted another team from the Sungai Buloh fire station to assist us.
Samsol said the victim, who is a local in his 30s, did not comment further as to why the ring was found stuck around the man's genitalia.
Firefighters managed to remove the ring at about 2am today.
