Strange things do happen indeed. Shocked medics have described the moment they found a mum apparently trying to eat her baby days after he was born. A nurse found the woman, named locally as 24-year-old Li Zhenghua, with her jaws clamped firmly around the infant's arm.
She raised the alarm and tried to pull the baby free, but the mum refused to let go. Doctors were forced to use an implement to prize her off the child before administering a sedative.
The shocking cannibalistic attack happened at a hospital in the city of Shenzhen in southern China’s Guangdong Province, where the woman had been discovered heavily pregnant and in labour on the street.
She had been taken into the hospital and had given birth, and then placed in a ward where attempts had been made to contact her family as she was left to nurse the child before the unbelievable happened.
"It was really shocking, the arm was badly damaged and suffered not only heavy bruising but bleeding as a result of the bite.
"Fortunately, doctors managed to insert something to stop her closing her teeth and then levered her jaws apart.
"After that they gave her a sedative and took the baby to a secure location," a hospital spokesman said. The Police have been invited in to trace her family.
