Man gets bitten in the groin by hungry turtle that won't let go in painful looking footage

The painful looking incident was caught on camera as the Chinese man walked along a street.

Carrying the turtle, the animal's head dangled dangerously close to the man's groin area.

The turtle then appeared to latch on to his penis through the man's pants.
