A man in Washington reportedly cut off his own testicles while he was undergoing an alcohol detoxification.

Officers with the Kennewick Police Department received a report Friday of a male cutting an animal with a knife, KEPR-TV reported.

But as officers arrived, they discovered a man “covered in blood on his hands and pants” because he reportedly cut his testicles off with a pocket knife.

Police said the man was completing a detoxification and was confused about what he was doing. He was transported to the hospital after his testicles reportedly were “retrieved and given to medics.”
