ANCHORAGE, ALASKA - A woman upset about an impending breakup with her boyfriend cut off his penis and flushed it down a toilet, police said.


Utility workers recovered the severed organ, and surgeons reattached it.

Kim Tran, 35, was arraigned on charges of assault, domestic violence and tampering with evidence.

Tran remained jailed in Anchorage, with no bail set.

Police spokeswoman Anita Shell said the injury to the 44-year-old man was "brutal, brutal."

The couple was arguing Saturday because the man, whose name was not released, wanted to end the year-old relationship, Shell said.

The pair decided to have sex, and the man agreed to have his arms tied to a window handle above their bed.

The woman pulled out a kitchen knife and severed his penis, police said.

After flushing the organ down the toilet, she drove the man to the hospital and helped him to a nurses station, Shell said.

Water utility workers retrieved the penis, and police said surgery to reattach it was successful.
