Robber Stabs Restaurant Worker In His Penis - Worker Ties Tourniquet, Finishes His Shift

Cambridge - A diligent Harvard Square restaurant worker tied a tourniquet around his bloody penis and continued working for several hours after armed robbers stabbed him last week, police said.

The 45-year-old East Boston man told police he was stabbed by two black men in their 20’s outside Z Square restaurant at 14 JFK St. on July 2.

After the 3 a.m. attack, the victim — who noticed he was bleeding from the groin — ran back into the restaurant bathroom and tied a knot around his penis to stop the bleeding, police said. The victim then continued working until 5 a.m. that morning, police said. The victim finally called an ambulance after he rode the T back to his home in East Boston. A doctor at Boston Medical Center told police the victim suffered a three-inch cut to his penis.

The victim told police he saw the suspects standing in front of Citizens Bank when he stepped outside the restaurant.

One suspect with wavy black hair, who was wearing a black T-shirt and black pants, approached the victim and asked him for a dollar to catch the T, the victim told police. When the victim told the suspect in Spanish he had no money, the suspect grabbed him by the shirt with both hands, according to police reports. The victim told police he shoved the suspect away, but the suspect pulled a white switchblade knife from his pocket and stabbed the victim in the groin. Both suspects then ran away towards the Harvard Square T station, police said.

Police took photos of the victim’s injuries as evidence.

2. Afraid of losing his job

:wow:

[raccoon]

3. That is tragic, that he'd continue working after such an injury.

I agree, i think the poor guy was scared witless of losing his job.

4. VERY DANGEROUS thing to do.

If you cut off the blood flow for too long you are apt to lose the limb. (or in this case your johnson).
I don't understand why anyone would risk that for a job. I hope he doesn't lose it.

10. Hmm

The 45-year-old East Boston man told police he was stabbed by two black men in their 20’s outside Z Square restaurant at 14 JFK St. on July 2.

Thank goodness that the article mentioned that they were black. :sarcasm:

If they'd been white, would their ethnicity have been mentioned? I'm asking sincerely; maybe it would have said "...stabbed by two white men..." for all I know.

?

12. At least in the Milwaukee media, yes.

Had the suspected assailants been white, the story would have specified "two white men."

It's kinda like free advertising for the cops. The whole town will now be looking for a guy who fits the description, and is carrying around a bloody knife and a glans.

13. So they'll arrest a clumsy mohel

Oi vey!
