Backside-bite prank backfires

A council boss in the UK has been suspended over allegations that she bit the backside of her only male colleague in an otherwise all-women department.

The bizarre incident is believed to be the culmination of a series of office pranks which spectacularly backfired.

The man, in his early 20s, bled through his underwear and was later taken to hospital for a tetanus jab as a precaution.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, in South Wales, is now carrying out an internal investigation into the incident.

The authority has suspended the department manager, who has not been named but is said to be aged in her 40s, pending the outcome.
