This is why fighting an Englishman is a very poor decision.  :whistle:

A man who had his penis severed in an attack on Teesside is still too distressed to give an account of what happened, police have said.

The 40-year-old, who has not been named, remains in a stable condition in hospital after being found on the A66 in Middlesbrough on 13 March.

Detectives were hoping to talk to the man at the weekend, but police said he was too distressed to be interviewed.

A 22-year-old man arrested over the attack remains on police bail.

A Cleveland Police spokeswoman said: "We are looking at various lines of inquiry.

"However we have still to obtain an account from the man who remains in hospital and in a stable condition.

"We would ask anyone with information to contact us as this may help progress our inquiries."

I suspect the silence of the severee has more to do with what precipitated the severance rather than the stress induced by the event
