Doctors have removed a two-inch nail from a man's genitals which he claimed was inserted there without his knowledge by a gang who attacked and robbed him.
The man admitted himself to hospital with extreme abdominal pain and was unable to speak. However, doctors spotted the nail on X-ray and it was pulled out of the 37-year-old man's urethra in the first attempt.
The X-ray clearly showed the outline of the nail inside his penis, which he claimed was inserted by a gang of Bahrainis.
The man told doctors the last thing he remembered was having something sprayed in his face and being fondled by one of his assailants before he blacked out.
He had been walking around with the nail inside his genitals for three days before going to hospital, the Gulf Daily News reported.
Doctors said he could have died if the object had not been spotted and removed in a non-surgical procedure known as a cystoscopy at the Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain.
SMC Accident and Emergency Department senior resident Dr Ashwani Narang, said: "It could have proved fatal if there had been a further delay.
"The man could have been discharged after being administered a pain-killer."
He added that the man had told doctors that he was an illegal worker who would now be deported.
Dr Narang said: "It is better that he is alive and deported than dead in a foreign land."
