Woman Bites Off Man’s Tongue During Kissing

An American woman based in Detroit has bitten off a man’s tongue when they were involved in a romantic kiss.

The lady, identified as Youlette Wedgeworth and aged 52, was kissing the man on January 28 when the incident occurred, police and prosecutors allege.

She had asked him to not put his tongue in her mouth. When he did anyway, she bit it off, Prosecutor Eric J. Smith told CNN affiliate WXYZ.

CNN has attempted to reach Wedgeworth for comment.

Police responded to the incident and found the man bleeding from his mouth and missing about 1 inch of his tongue, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.

“I believe this is the first case of this nature in my 27 years in the prosecutor’s office,” Smith said in the statement.

Police were able to recover the man’s tongue in his apartment bedroom. He was transported to an area hospital and Wedgeworth was taken into custody without further incident, the prosecutor’s office said.
