A 28-year-old woman successfully stopped a man's rape attempt by biting part of his tongue off.

The man, surnamed Lang, was arrested in Lin'an, Zhejiang Province, when he went to a local hospital on Tuesday.

Lang admitted that he broke into the woman's home to rob her of money, then tried to rape her but failed. Half a month ago, he committed the same crime in another young woman's home.

The doctors said that Lang's tongue could be treated, however the repaired tongue would lose some functions.
