Council boss bites employee's bum till he bleeds

A female council boss has been suspended over allegations she bit the bum of the only male employee within her department.
The man, in his early 20s, bled through his underwear and had to be taken to hospital for a tetanus jab following the alleged incident at Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, in South Wales.
An internal investigation is now being carried out into the bizarre incident, which is believed to be the culmination of a series of office pranks that spectacularly backfired.
The council has suspended the department manager, who has not been named but is in her 40s, pending the outcome.
Junior female work colleagues, who witnessed the alleged attack, are due to be interviewed.
The matter first came to light last week when staff members reported the incident to their union, Unison.
Unison branch chairman Mark Fisher, said he was shocked at the allegation.
He said: "It is a very unusual situation and hence that is why we acted as a trade union.
"We asked the council for a full investigation and it was the authority that made the decision to suspend the manager.
"I have worked in this area for a long time and I can say that when the allegation came to us we were shocked."
He said he understood the alleged attacked was not an isolated incident and had been part of on-going office horse-play which got out of control.
He added: "There is an investigation under way now. If the allegation is proved it would be regarded as gross misconduct and a grounds for dismissal."
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. Therefore we are unable to comment any further."
