Lebak Firefighters Remove Ring Stuck on Man’s Genitals

A man identified by the initials KR in Cikulur sub-district, Lebak regency, Banten, was visited by the Lebak fire service after inserting a ring around his genitals. Firefighters attended to assist him.

“The fire service team carried out a rescue operation to remove a ring from the genitals,” said Rian Apriandi, deputy commander of the Lebak fire service, on Saturday (7 November 2026).

Rian said the service received a report from the man’s family at around 1pm that day and immediately sent a team to the scene.

He said the incident began when DK, who was believed to have an intellectual disability, inserted a ring around his genitals. This reportedly left him struggling to urinate, and he was taken to a community health centre.

“A few days later, the man complained that he could not urinate and had begun to swell, so his parents took him to health workers,” Rian said.

Rian added that staff at the health centre recommended contacting the fire service. He said the operation proceeded smoothly.

“The health workers then advised that he be brought to the fire service. Thankfully, the ring removal was carried out safely and smoothly,” he said.
