The incident occurred in Jiangxi, China, when a woman, in her 40's, was accosted by a man while she was walking home on Monday.
The man, who is in his 20s, then demanded money from her.

When the man tried to kiss her, the victim bit hard on his tongue.
The man shouted in pain and then demanded 10,000 yuan (RM5,000) from her for hurting him.
The woman promised to give him the money later, but she ran to the police instead.
The suspect was arrested the next day with an injured tongue.

“The mole was removed, but I was left with a five-cm-long scar on my scalp,” he said.
