Police have traced the owner of a severed finger that was found outside a block of flats in Southampton. It was discovered in a parking area in Lower Bannister Street on Saturday morning. Officers said the man lost the finger while trying to climb a fence and they were concerned he might have lost a lot of blood. A Hampshire police spokesman said: “Investigations have found a man lost the finger in an accident while trying to climb a fence after getting trapped in a courtyard area. However, he wandered off after being given a towel by a resident.” The spokesman said the man was later found after he had attended hospital for treatment. He said: “We are pleased to say that the man who lost part of his finger in Southampton has now been traced. The 28-year-old is receiving treatment at hospital in Salisbury for his injury after seeking medical assistance himself.”
