He allegedly received an alarming call from the woman while at work where she threatened self-harm, which prompted him to return home.

The woman allegedly questioned whether the man was cheating on her with another woman and a heated argument ensued for some hours, according to police facts.

As the incident escalated, the woman allegedly attacked the man, scratching and punching him, and at one stage during the fight, caused damage to his TV and cabinet.

At some point during the fight, police allege the woman managed to "get hold of his penis in her mouth and bite down on it".

Details on how this came to be, or the extent of any potential injuries to the man's genitalia, were absent in police facts.

The man reportedly managed to break free and forced the woman out of the house, with his friends arriving to provide assistance.
