A woman has been arrested after allegedly trying to cut off her husband's penis with a box cutter during a row.

Police were called to the home of Lisa Jones-Orock ,39, and Gerald Lee Orock Jr, 56, in Pennsylvania to reports of a domestic argument.

Both were taken into custody but during interview Mr Orock told officers his wife had tried to cut off his penis with a box cutter.

His jeans had been cut in places and he had defensive wounds to his arms, police said.

Mrs Jones-Orock said her husband had threatened to stab her.

She was found in possession of a bag of marijuana and has been charged with drug possession as well as assault.

Police also discovered Mrs Jones-Orock has a restraining order preventing Mr Orock from contacting her, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
