A woman has been arrested after allegedly biting off her boyfriend's tongue during a passionate kiss.
Shakeia Long, 37, was kissing Dwayne Williams, 41, when she removed a chunk of his tongue.
Williams managed to grab the piece of flesh and fled Long's apartment, in Hartford, Connecticut, the Hartford Courant reported.
He is believed to have flagged down a passing police officer and was taken to hospital, according to an arrest warrant seen by the local paper.
Williams struggled to speak but was able to tell the officer "She bit off my tongue", the warrant says.
He was taken to nearby St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center where the detached piece of tongue was placed on ice.
Medics tried in vain to reattach the large chunk of tongue, the Courant reports.
Long, who has a child with Williams, was quizzed by officers and admitted she had smoked PCP with Williams at the time, authorities said.
In her statement, she claims she "was not aware of his injuries or how they occurred".
Long was charged with first-degree assault and appeared in court this week .
She also faces a charge of violating the terms of her probation from a 2013 second-degree assault conviction.
Long is due back in court March 31.
