Man found wandering naked in Jerusalem after castrating himselfBy Jonathan Lis, Haaretz Correspondent
A 23-year-old Jerusalem resident who castrated himself was found wandering naked and bleeding profusely through the streets of Jerusalem on Monday.
Passersby on Stern Street immediately called the Magen David Adom ambulance service, who took him to Hadassah University Hospital, Ein Karem.
At the same time, additional units went to the scene to search for the missing organ.
"It is not clear to us where he committed the act or what he used to do it," said Magen David Adom medic Matan Mored.
"We discovered him in the street when he was completely naked and with a deep cut up to his scrotum." He added.
The young man is deemed to be mentally unstable, and did not cooperate with the search by the medics.
He did not give any details about his identify, nor would he say where he disposed of the organ.
A team of urologists at the hospital performed an emergency operation on the man, during which they tried to reconstruct the severed blood vessels.
Hospital sources said the organ has still not been located, but the doctors have succeed in repairing the blood vessels.
