 The elder man grabbed the axe and his his friend over the head with it, before chopping off the man's penis, it was alleged.

A police spokesman said: 'Over two days the men were binge drinking, which led to a violent argument.

'When words were exhausted, the attacker pulled out an axe and first struck the opponent on the head, then cut off his manhood.'

Neighbour called the emergency services after hearing the man's pained screams.
