RIYADH -- A Saudi man was recovering in hospital after having his penis sewn back on by surgeons but the Filipina maid who chopped it off when he sexually assaulted her is under arrest, reports said Monday.

The maid's 38-year-old employer assaulted her while his wife was asleep, the Okaz daily said.

She grabbed a knife from the kitchen to defend herself and used it when he persisted despite having it brandished in his face, the paper said.

He is now recuperating after successful surgery in a specialist hospital in Riyadh, while she has been detained for questioning, it added, without identifying either party.
