It was one of the most shocking news of 1993, that got men everywhere holding their breath as they read how Lorena Bobbitt cut off her then husband's penis, John Wayne Bobbitt off him, and later throw it in a nearby grassy field, a couple of miles from the house.
In a recent interview, John was able to reveal the gruesome detail of the attack. He explains that on the night of the incident, he was asleep in bed when Lorena cut off his penis, and he took him few moments to realize what had happened to him.
John said;
I didn't know she cut it off,She did it so fast and ran so fast — I thought maybe I saw a little bit of her in my peripheral running out the bedroom door. But I looked down and there was blood everywhere. I applied pressure — I get up and try to put my pants on, and tried to get to the hospital as fast as I could.
Not able to drive, John called up a friend,Robby, who was deep asleep in their home, but not knowing what had happened, Tired Robby went to the bathroom first to try to brush his teeth, until he saw blood everywhere. John in his interview said;
I had to go get my friend up to drive me to the hospital. 'Come on, Robby! Get up — you gotta take me to the hospital. My wife cut me. He's incoherent, too — he was just like I was, so tired.
He gets up and goes to the bathroom and brushes his teeth, and he looks in the mirror and saw the blood everywhere. We flew to the hospital — we got there within 10 minutes.
In the legal battle between the former couple, Lorena claimed that John was physically and sexually abusive, slept around and took up drugs and alcohol. She said she soon suffered from battered woman’s syndrome from the treatment.
And on the night of the attack, Lorena also claimed that John had assaulted her sexually, and claimed this provoked the attack, though John claimed the couple had had consensual sex, he was tried for sexual assault and acquitted on the charge.
The couple divorced in 1995.

While on Steve Harvey show, Lorena also talked about what happened on that night;
I found myself in the street with a penis in one hand and the knife in the other. So yeah, that happens ... I’m here to tell you and to tell everyone what happens when a woman gets abused by a man.
