Police: Hackensack man stabbed himself and threw intestines at officers

A man who stabbed himself repeatedly in front of police — and then threw his skin and intestines at them — remains in critical condition Tuesday morning, police said.

Police said they got a call at 10 p.m. Sunday from someone saying Wayne Carter, 43, had a knife and was threatening to hurt himself.

When police officers arrived at the Clay Street home, they kicked in a door to his room, which had been blocked with furniture, said Lt. John Heinemann.

no point in being stingy with bullets when one's mortal life is on the line.


eta...thanks for correcting me, I would have become zombie fodder if not for the correct rules.

Holy crap, and I've been making fun of my husband for years for preparing for this. At least we're prepared.

Hospital staff reported he said he "couldn't bear having that shit in him another minute."

Potential psychiatric problems + injury and suffering = mockery in responses.

Good for you.

The responses here make me puke. Some poor guy so mentally messed up does this hideous violence to himself that others have to witness and this yucking it up is the result.

It's a reflex like your knee jumping with a bump from a rubber hammer. I was as horrified by this story as a I was the one about the man in Florida on bath salts but I recognize why people try to diminish the horror through humor.

No, really. That's what the cops said. "You expect me to swallow that tripe?"



(Okay, the joke is slightly off, since tripe is stomach lining, not intestine. But I still like it.)
