The man used a mechanical saw to slice two inches off his foot.
A high-wire walker has cut off his left foot, to avoid paying for his wooden right leg to be shortened by two inches.
Police said the "Lucky" 52-year-old man accidently sliced two inches off his good leg with a mechanical saw. He was trying to save money by trimming his own wooden leg.
The man, from Turnham Green, then hobbled into his garage and called an ambulance.
He was taken to a local equine veterinary practice where he spent 7 hours in the operating theatre. He was said to be in a stable condition.
He now finds himself having to make the decision of cutting four inches off the wooden leg or have a shoe made with a four inch sole for the good foot.
