A woman cut off a man's penis 'to teach him a lesson' for harassing and teasing her, it is reported.

With the help of her two friends, the Indian woman invited the man to an isolated spot near a railway line before the trio 'overpowered him and tied him to a tree,' according to reports.

The man was then brutally beaten up by the three pals, it is alleged.

This incident in Dombivali near Mumbai ended with the woman - who has not been named - chopping the man's penis off and fleeing the scene, The Times Now newspaper in India reports.

According to the paper, the accused woman told investigators the 30-year-old man used to harass her and continued teasing her despite 'warnings'.

Finally she’d had enough and hatched the revenge attack, it is claimed.

It is alleged she told police she did it to "teach a lesson".

Police were informed about the incident by local residents before the man was taken to hospital.

Manpada police said his condition remains serious and treatment is underway.

The woman has been arrested and she and her accomplices are due to appear in court, reports say.
