An eight-day old baby sustained serious injuries to his penis during a circumcision held at a Bnei Brak event hall Sunday evening.

The baby was rushed to the emergency room at the Sheba Medical Center, where he is currently undergoing surgery to stop the bleeding.

The baby's parents told the Magen David Adom paramedics who arrived at the place that although their son was suffering from hepatitis, they insisted on holding the bris on time.

Shai Pinchas, an MDA paramedic, said he searched the hall for the baby's foreskin and the part of his penis that was cut off, and then brought them to the hospital in an ice bag.
