Rat bites man's privates

A man in Nassau is suing authorities after a rodent bit his penis while he was in a jail cell.

Peter Solomon believes the Nassau County Correctional Centre were negligent to put him in a rodent-infested cell, which he claims led to the incident in 2007.

Although those at the centre claim there is no problem, Judge Arthur Spatt said the case could proceed and: "The parties dispute whether the rodent was a mouse or a rat, whether Solomon was bitten or scratched, and the nature and extent of his injuries."
