A KAZAKH man cut off his penis at Madrid's Barajas airport to avoid being extradited home and was taken to hospital in a serious condition, Spanish media reported today.

The 52-year-old man had finished serving a five-year prison sentence in Spain for a violent crime and was due to be extradited back to Kazakhstan overnight Monday.



Despite being escorted by several police officers, the man was able to slip a knife out of his clothing and sever his penis.



The man was admitted to a Madrid hospital and was still in a serious condition today, Spanish media said.
