A YOUNG man has been involved in a horrifying accident in which his scrotum became entangled in a handheld electrical grinder.

Ambulance services received an emergency call just after 2.30pm on Friday after the accident at a home in St Clair in Sydney’s west.

The injured 19-year-old man was reported to be conscious and breathing when the ambulance arrived.

He was taken to Nepean Hospital in a stable condition, a spokesman for the Ambulance Service said.



The man has since been keeping a low profile, with a spokesman from Nepean Hospital saying he did not wish to provide an update on his condition.
