Harare: A man was mercilessly beaten by a prostitute in Zimbabwe's Mvurwi in Mashonaland province, after he tried to pay for sex with a boiled egg.

According to a report in the Metro, the man first groped the woman breasts and then asked her for sex. He also asked her if he could pay for sex with a boiled egg.

However, the woman got furious and punched the man in the face. She also took a beer bottle and broke it on his head.

Locals said that the man was left bleeding on the road. "She could have just said no," one of the onlookers was quoted as saying.

In her defence, the woman said that she did the right thing as she wanted to teach the man a lesson.
