Reference to guy who walked into restaurant with severed penis
Posted: Fri Aug 21, 2009 7:56 pm
I don't remember this case, but apparently he walked into a "chip shop" (it happened in UK) and asked the guys there to fry his penis which he was holding severed. I came across references here:

DAD HACKS OFF HIS OWN MANHOOD AT CHIPPIE
Surgeons battle to save organ
A MAN staggered in to a chip shop clutching his own manhood which he had
hacked off.
Alan Smith, 32, had also slashed his throat.
Shocked staff rushed to his aid to try to stem the flow of blood and dialled
999.
They then placed the injured man's organ in a plastic bag until an
ambulaance arrived.
Mr Smith, of Academy Street, Leith, was taken to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary
and later transferred to St John's Hospital, Livingston where he was having
plastic surgery.
Last night, Adam Harrughty, fish fryer at the Mermaid chip shop in Leith
Walk said the victim had walked in with blood on his hands and tried to buy
cigarettes.
He said: "I didn't even notice at first because I was more worried about the
gaping hole in his neck.
"I knew he had something in his hand but I didn't realised the importance of
it at first.
"It wasn't until he loosened his grip that I got a proper look at it.
"At first, I thought it was his thumb. There wasn't time to think about it
and I shouted for the girl in the shop to get me some of the bags we put the
rolls in."
The incident happened just before midnight on Wednesday.
Mr Harrughty, 38, added: "Later, when it had sunk in, it made me flinch to
think about it. I don't know how any man could do that to himself."
A police spokesman said: "We can confirm we were called to the Mermaid chip
shop where officers found a man who had mutilated himself and was bleeding
heavily.
"It was a shocking incident for all concerned."
A spokesman for St John's Hospital said Mr Smith was undergoing surgery and
his condition was stable.
