Man Cuts Ring Finger, Gives It To Ex-Wife

A Austrian man cut off his ring finger and presented the digit to his ex-wife after an acrimonious divorce.

The finger which still held his wedding band.

Then after being charged with dangerous harassment and assault for the act, he told the court that he did not regret having cut off the finger and has chosen deliberately not to reattach it.

"It was an act of breaking free", the man said.

He said he didn't miss the finger, could work well without it and did not plan on getting married again anyway.
