A man who had his penis severed in an attack on Teesside has been "assisting" officers attempting to establish how he came about his injuries.

 

The 40-year-old, who has not been named, remains in a stable condition in hospital after being found on the A66 in Middlesbrough early on 13 March.

After coming out of an induced coma, he was "too distressed" to speak to detectives until after the weekend.

A 22-year-old man arrested over the attack remains on bail.

Cleveland Police has appealed for any witnesses who have not come forward to do so.

A spokeswoman said: "Specially trained officers have visited the man on a number of occasions since his admittance to hospital and have spoken to him about his injuries and how he has come about them.

"He is engaging with these officers and is assisting them as he continues to undergo treatment and begin recovery."

Artist makes a one-man show of himself by MASTURBATING in front of patrons
 

An artist waiting to greet viewers at a gallery made a one-man exhibition of himself instead - by masturbating in front of a horrified young woman.

 

Adam Webb, 29, began intimately touching himself at the Cambridge Salon Art Gallery just before going on to shake hands and chatting with customers, a court was told.

 

It was the not the first time the community art group member had over-exposed himself, Cambridge News reports.

 

A week earlier, a mother and her two young children had spotted him pleasuring himself behind the large bay window at his home in the town.

Webb admitted two charges of outraging public decency and the court imposed a 12-month community order.

 

Prosecutor Delia Matthew said: "A young woman was walking in Carlyle Road with her two infant children when she looked up to the window and saw the defendant and could see he was masturbating.

 

“She shouted at him and he started flapping his arms and tapped his penis back into his pants.

 

“The woman said she felt angry as the window is in full view of a park where children play.”

 

Then at the art gallery Webb was in a room with a young woman and began bending over her desk in a way that made her feel uncomfortable.

 

Ms Matthews continued: “He pretended to be looking at the laptop but was stroking himself over his clothes and breathing very heavily. He said, ‘Oh yeah’ then went out to the fire escape saying he was going to have a smoke.

 

“The woman could see his hand moving and had this horrible thought he could be masturbating. She glanced at him and could see he was.

 

“She was so shocked, but could then see some customers walk in. He approached them, shook hands with them and started telling them about his work.”

 

A third offence of masturbating in a police cell had been listed, but was withdrawn before the start of the case.

 

Webb's lawyer Monica Lentin said he had suffered mental health problems and his medication had just been changed at the time of the offences.

She said: “He has not been in trouble since July 2012 and has the full and total support of his family. They will ensure he complies with any regime.

 

As well as the community order, Webb was ordered to pay £85 in costs and a £60 victim surcharge and told to continue with his mental health programme.

AN ANGRY husband threw his wife out of their house and locked her in the shed after she sang 'Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead' after his mum died.

Andrew Salmon packed up wife Beverley's things and locked her out of their home in Truro, Cornwall, because she sang the Wizard Of Oz song on repeat.

And when she moved into the garden shed, Mr Salmon locked her inside before she escaped through a window.

Mr Salmon, 42, told Truro Magistrates' Court that he was "depressed" when he told his wife: "It is my house now – you are not getting in."

“It is my house now – you are not getting in”

After escaping the shed, Mrs Salmon let herself back into their home and started throwing her hubby's clothes out of the window before he tried to drag her out by her feet.

Mr Salmon claimed his wife was not supportive about his loss and he also suspected her of having an affair.

He admitted assaulting Mrs Salmon last month, adding that he regrets his actions and will be sentenced at a later date.

North Korean officials visit salon over Kim Jong-un 'bad hair' advert

 

North Korean officials visit salon over Kim Jong-un 'bad hair' advert

 

 

The poster has become a tourist attraction, the salon claimed

 

North Korean officials paid a visit to a London hair salon to question why it had used their leader Kim Jong-un's picture in a poster offering haircuts.

The poster in M&M Hair Academy in South Ealing featured the words "Bad Hair Day?" below the leader's picture.

 

Barber Karim Nabbach said embassy officials were shown the door and the salon's manager spoke to the police.

Met Police said: "We have spoken to all parties involved and no offence has been disclosed."

 

The salon put up the poster on 9 April and the next day two men claiming to be officials from the North Korean embassy visited the salon and demanded to meet the manager, Mo Nabbach.

 

Karim Nabbach said: "We put up posters for an offer for men's hair cuts through the month of April. Obviously in the current news there has been this story that North Korean men are only allowed one haircut.

 

"We didn't realise but the North Korean embassy is a 10-minute walk from the salon. The next day we had North Korean officials pop into the salon asking to speak to the manager.

 

"He said 'listen this isn't North Korea, this is England, we live in a democracy so I'm afraid you're going to have to get out of my salon'."

 

The manager later informed the police about the visit by the North Koreans and he was told the embassy had also contacted officers.

 

"We haven't had any trouble since then, if anything the poster has become a tourist attraction," Karim Nabbach said.

 

Last month it was reported by Radio Free Asia reports that male university students in North Korea were now required to get the same haircut as their leader.

Point of fact on the original story from radio Free Asia  though , amusing as we'd all like it to be  , it's 100% false

A spate of thefts of Lego building blocks has been reported across Australia, with £40,000 worth stolen in a number of daring heists from toy shops.

The raids, however, are far from child's play with audacious thieves using angle grinders, removing panes of glass and cutting off CCTV cameras when breaking into stores to steal the plastic bricks.

Break-ins have occurred across the states of New South Wales and Victoria.

The latest was in the town of Lismore, where £11,000 worth of the colourful bricks were stolen.

Toy Kingdom owner Carey Horner told The Daily Telegraph his store had been hit twice.

"After the first robbery we improved our security," Mr Horner said.

"The fact he had a grinder ready to go to punch out the locks shows he was well prepared."

US student rescued from giant vagina sculpture in Germany

 

In the space of 24 hours last week, southern Germany witnessed two spectacular rescue operations.

 

Both involved men who had become trapped deep inside cave-like structures, and a large rescue team working together to set them free. But if explorer Johann Westhauser is expected to soon tell the world how he got trapped inside Germany's deepest cave, an anonymous exchange student may prefer to keep quiet about the story of how he got into a tight spot.

 

On Friday afternoon, a young American in Tübingen had to be rescued by 22 firefighters after getting trapped inside a giant sculpture of a vagina. The Chacán-Pi (Making Love) artwork by the Peruvian artist Fernando de la Jara has been located outside Tübingen University's institute for microbiology and virology since 2001 and had previously mainly attracted juvenile sniggers rather than adventurous explorers.

 

According to De la Jara, the 32-ton sculpture made out of red Veronese marble is meant to signify "the gateway to the world"

 

Police confirmed that the firefighters-turned-midwives delivered the student "by hand and without the application of tools".

 

The mayor of Tübingen told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper that he struggled to imagine how the accident could have happened, "even when considering the most extreme adolescent fantasies. To reward such a masterly achievement with the use of 22 firefighters almost pains my soul."

A same-sex penguin couple are rearing a chick after it was abandoned by its parents at a zoo in Kent.

Staff at Wingham Wildlife Park stepped in after the baby bird's mother had to leave the egg because the father refused to help her incubate it.

The two male Humboldt penguins, Jumbs and Kermit, were given the egg, which hatched a month ago.

Park owner Tony Binskin said: "These two have so far proven to be two of the best penguin parents we have had yet."

Jumbs and Kermit were first seen pairing up in 2012, leaving two females without mates.

"Whilst it was nice to see two of our birds pair up, it actually meant that we were left with not two but four birds unable to reproduce within our collection," Mr Binskin said.

'Very inconsiderate partner'
The species is thought to be declining in number, and the park brought in two new males for breeding.

But each time female Isobel lays an egg, her partner Hurricane refuses to sit on it.

Mr Binskin's wife Jackie said Hurricane was a "very inconsiderate partner who is happy to get Isobel pregnant", then "seems to think that his job is done".

An egg from the pair was given to Jumbs and Kermit last year, but failed to hatch.

Isobel laid another egg in March, but was again forced to leave it to find food.

It was given to Jumbs and Kermit, and hatched on 12 April.

There have been previous reports of exclusive male-to-male pairings among penguins, and some have reared chicks.

Mr Binskin said: "Whilst pair bonding often results in no result other than eliminating those two animals from the breeding population of that species, in captivity it can have greatly positive effects.

"We are still very much starting our breeding efforts with this species, and this is only our second year of breeding, but having such good surrogate parents available should we need them is a huge bonus for us."
