Taiwan man sews up rival's lips over money spat

Taipei - A Taiwan man has been arrested for allegedly sewing up the lips of another man to stop him from talking about a disagreement over money, Taiwan television reported Thursday. The accused, identified only by his surname Wang, decided to punish another man for talking to others about a money dispute between the two, the television channel ETTV reported. While Wang's friends overpowered the victim, whose name was given as Chang, Wang allegedly used a needle and thread late Tuesday to sew up Chang's mouth, ETTV said. Both Wang and Chang are about 20. Neighbours in Taichung in western Taiwan heard Chang's screams and alerted police, who arrived at the scene and arrested Wang. Chang received treatment at a hospital. 'When we saw Chang, his lips had been sewed up with five stitches, and there was blood all over his face,' said Yang Chao-sung of the Hotzuo Police Station in Taichung. 'We have never seen anything like that.'
