The China Times has reported that the man sat on the toilet at his rural home and suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his genital gland. The pain was described as “knife-like”.

The 51 year old man was taken to Puli Christian Hospital where he is being treated for “minor injuries” to his reproductive organ. A spokesman for the hospital said he will be allowed home after the lack of infection is confirmed.
