In a shocking incident, a Virginia man died after he accidentally stabbed himself in the groin with a sword. The 28-year-old succumbed to his wounds despite efforts to stop the bleeding. He was descending the stairs in his home in the Marcus drive off Old Oyster Point Road, the area of Abbington Landing Apartments when the accident happened. The young man was later pronounced dead from the groin stab at the scene by the police.

Reportedly, police reached his home at around 4:40 pm on a report about an accidental stab wound. Witnesses told authorities that the man mistakenly hurt himself with the sword while walking down the stairs. Officials said that the man was pronounced dead at around 5:25 pm. Witnesses in the house said it was not clear at the moment if the victim fell down the stairs or stabbed himself without falling down.

Witnesses who were present at the house during the incident informed authorities who rushed to the spot. It is not known why the man was carrying a sword.

In a similar case but an intentional one, a man cut his penis while watching porn earlier this year. The 30-year-old cut himself inspired by the adult content he was watching.  As the flow of blood became unable to stop, he had to call emergency services. The man was taken to a nearby hospital and was given the necessary medical aid. He did not have any long-time injury and discharged from the hospital with a scar.
