A woman bit off the tongue of her rapist and then gave it to police as evidence. The 32-year-old woman was woken up on Thursday night when a man broke into her bedroom at around 11pm. While raping the woman, the man forced his tongue into her mouth.
Police said: "This was the gravest mistake he made. The woman bit (off) the front part of his tongue." The man immediately ran away.
The woman called police and handed over the piece of tongue. Police then put out an alert for a man with a piece of his tongue missing.
A suspect was arrested on Friday afternoon.
Police have sent the tongue to a forensic science laboratory to test whether it belonged to the arrested 23-year-old man.
He will face charges of rape and house-breaking on Monday.
