South African Police said they are on the lookout for a man
with severely injured genitalia who allegedly raped a pregnant woman, who bit
him in self-defence.
Local police spokesman Leonard Hlathi told newsmen on
Wednesday that the woman, who was in the third month of her pregnancy, was
raped at knife point.
“She was rape in front of her young child after she hitched a lift with two men in eastern Mpumalanga province. “One of the men forcefully raped her at knife point in front of her child,’’ a police statement read. The crime occurred on Monday.

“The woman managed to bite the private part of the man, who
ran away after the ordeal,’’ it added.
Police, however, appealed to all health institutions to
contact the authorities if they find a man with “an injured private part.”
The police also put out a tweet on their official account
calling for information on the case. Hlathi told newsmen that in spite of his
bad injuries, the man had managed to flee.
“It is not the first time that men bitten on the genitals
have managed to escape,’’ she said. He said that the woman is being treated by
a psychologist, and noted that in South Africa “sexual offence cases are high.”
