Female council manager suspended after biting male colleague on the bottom

A council manager has been suspended for biting a young man on the backside in an office prank. The office worker, 24, was heard shouting in pain when his female manager sunk her teeth into his behind.

But the "horseplay" went too far after the bite drew blood through the man's underwear and he was reported to have had to get a tetanus jab. The female manager, who hasn't been named but is in her forties, has been suspended while an investigation into the bite is carried out.



One colleague said: "It was horseplay that got out of hand and she bit a young man working on her team on the bottom so hard that it drew blood. Word has it that he needed to go to hospital to be checked, and possibly to have a tetanus jab. He is a young man who works in an office mainly full of women. There was a bit of banter and a bit of nonsense which went too far."

The woman has been suspended by Neath Port Talbot Council in South Wales, after the male victim gave details to senior officials. A council spokesman said: "Following a complaint, we have suspended an employee as a neutral act, as is standard procedure whilst an investigation is carried out." Trade union, Unison, is calling for a full investigation but police have not been called in.
