An Indonesian man who works at an oil palm plantation in Pos Pulat here, had his penis cut off by a woman, believed to be a Thai national, at a banana farm here Saturday night.

Gua Musang police chief Supt Saiful Bahri Abdullah said the incident occurred at about 8.30pm at the farm located behind a surau in Kampung Gua Air, about eight kilometres from Pos Pulat.

Before the incident, the 36-year-old man who lives at a 'kongsi' (workers quarters) house for plantation workers in Pos Pulat, had gone to Kampung Gua Air with a friend to perform Maghrib prayers while his friend went to
a restaurant, Saiful Bahri told reporters here Sunday.

He said after having completed his prayers, the victim went out of the surau and was approached by a woman who pulled him into the banana farm and opened his pants.

Saiful Bahri said, however, the victim only became aware of the assault after feeling pain and screamed for help, while the suspect fled the scene.

He said the imam of the surau who heard the victim's screams rushed to the scene and found the man's genitals covered in blood.

The victim was sent to the Gua Musang Hospital before being transferred to the Raja Perempuan Zainab II Hospital in Kota Bharu for further treatment.

He said police were now hunting down the 19-year-old woman.
