Female council office manager suspended 'for biting employee, 24, on his BOTTOM forcing him to get a tetanus jab'

Office worker, 24, was heard shouting in pain

Colleague said: 'It was horseplay that got out of hand'

A council boss was suspended today for biting a young man on the backside in an office prank.

The office worker, 24, was heard shouting in pain when his female manager sunk her teeth into his bum.

But the 'horseplay' went too far - and he needed a tetanus jab after the bite drew blood through his underwear.

The woman manager, who hasn’t been named but is in her forties, was suspended for an investigation into the bite blunder.

One colleague said: 'It was horseplay that got out of hand and she bit a young man working on her team on the bottom so hard that it drew blood.

'Word has it that he needed to go to hospital to be checked, and possibly to have a tetanus jab.

'He is a young man who works in an office mainly full of women. There was a bit of banter and a bit of nonsense which went too far.

'The manager has been suspended while the council carries out an inquiry. I think the council is trying to keep it quiet but it’s all the authority by now.'

Neath Port Talbot Council in South Wales, carried out the action after the male victim gave details to senior officials.

A trade union is calling for a full investigation but police have not been called in.

Unison branch chairman Mark Fisher said he had been made aware of it from union members working in the manager’s department.

He confirmed he was told a young man was bitten on the backside, leaving him requiring a hospital visit and tetanus injection.

Mr Fisher said: 'Due to the seriousness of the allegation I have requested the council to carry out a full investigation.

'The union will not condone any misbehaviour directed at any member of staff, whether horseplay or otherwise.

'We would always encourage people to speak out if they feel they are being treated differently or bullied or harassed.'
