In Modesto CA a man tried to cut off his own arm. He was sitting in a Denny’s restaurant late on Friday night and started stabbing himself in one arm with a butter knife he grabbed from the table. That knife of course didn’t work so he went into the kitchen and took a butcher knife and dug it into his arm. Hr thought he had injected air into a vein while shooting cocaine and feared he would die unless he took drastic action. He was taken to the hospital for severe cuts.
Lol I found this story kind of funny. But imagine how much he must’ve been trippin out to actually try to amputate his arm!

That's really sad. How did they let him into the back to get the knife? It seems like there will be a lawsuit out of this...

Hey I read about this. And they closed Dennys for the night because of it.


I'm sure they didn't just let him into the back, I'm sure he went back there without their permission and just grabbed it. Thats sad tho.

You know I really didn't know you could shoot cocaine, I thought you could just sniff it, or make it into crack and smoke it. thats crazy that he tried to cut his arm off. I dont know what I would've done if I was there I think I would be in too much shock to even stop him!

there can be air in your blood though. Blood cells transport oxygen so I'm sure he wouldve been fine and no point to go that extreme and cut off his own arm!
