Man chops off penis in crowded restaurant

A man ran into the Zizzi restaurant on The Strand, London, and cut off his penis with a kitchen knife. Police arrived and used tear gas to restrain him. From the BBC News:

The man was then taken to hospital in south London where his condition is stable. It is understood surgeons were unable to reattach his penis.

UPDATE: Thanks to all the readers who point out that zizi is French slang for penis! Coincidence? You be the judge.
