A mother has been accused of cannibalism after she was allegedly found biting her newborn baby’s arm.
The woman, named locally as 24-year-old Li Zhenghua, was found trying to eat the child while in a hospital ward in Shenzhen, southern China, recovering from the birth.
Luckily a nurse saw the woman with her teeth locked around her son and raised the alarm.
The nurse, named as Liu Tianlun, attempted to prise the woman off the baby but the mother refused to let her child go.
She was eventually sedated and extracted from the baby.

When the nurse raised the alarm and tried to pull the baby free, the mother had refused to let go and continued to bite the tiny limb.nnA hospital spokesman said: "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."nnPolice said the woman had been identified as 24-year-old Li Zhenghua. They said enquiries had found that, despite being pregnant, her mother-in-law had thrown her out on the street after Li started behaving oddly. The family did not alert anybody that Li was pregnant and might be in need of help.nnShe had apparently survived on the streets for at the very least several weeks and possibly longer before she was spotted in labour and the alarm was raised.nnAn investigation is now going on to decide what prompted the woman's actions and whether the child should be officially confiscated from both her and her husband's family, who no longer seem to want anything to do with her, and also possibly her child.nn(ends)n
