Police: Lewiston man's severed arm apparently self-inflicted
Police and Occupational Health and Safety Administration officials have ended their investigation into the Jan. 21 incident.
LEWISTON — The injury that left a man stumbling on a downtown street carrying his severed arm last month was apparently self-inflicted, police said.
Police and Occupational Health and Safety Administration officials have ended their investigation into the Jan. 21 incident involving Abdiaziz Hussein. OSHA was involved after it was revealed the incident took place at AK Market at 280 Pine St.
Hussein did not work at the store, police said this week.
“At this point, after speaking with numerous witnesses and reviewing hours of both store and neighboring footage, it appears the incident was self-inflicted,” police wrote in a news release. “It is not believed that Hussein was employed at the store when the incident took place. The injury was received from a meat grade band saw that was used to process meat in the rear of the store.”
The business is not licensed for a meat-cutting operation, city officials have said.
