A young man was rushed to hospital after getting his genitals and trousers caught in a belt sander , according to reports.
The 18-year-old tradesman was injured in the work site incident in Mosman, Sydney, Australia, on Friday morning.
He reportedly suffered suspected lacerations to his genital area and had to have the electric tool removed in hospital.
Ambulance, fire and rescue crews were called to the scene of the accident and the teenager was taken to the Royal North Shore Hospital.
He was said to be in a stable condition and was later discharged.
The incident is being investigated by authorities, the Daily Mail reports.
Earlier this year Mirror Online reported on an incident in Malaysia where a 16-year-old got his penis stuck inside a toilet pipe.
The embarrassed teenager desperately tried to free himself for over an hour before finally shouting his Johor housemates for help.
His friends then called the emergency services.
Rescuers brought with them a metal cutting saw which they used to manually cut the pipe hoping to free the boy.
But his penis remained wedged inside, forcing them to remove the whole length of pipe, which appeared to be around 30mm wide.
