Man tries to cut off his arms with saws at Home Depot

WEST COVINA, Calif. -- A man deliberately cut himself with saws in the aisles of a Home Depot Inc. store in suburban Los Angeles on Wednesday, creating a gruesome scene in front of several customers that left him severely injured, police said.

The man was in the store's tool section and went unnoticed until he began grabbing several small saws, including one meant to cut sheet rock, and started using them on his arms.

"He cut both arms with hand saws down to the bone," said West Covina police Cpl. Rudy Lopez.

Officers received several 911 calls and arrived to find the man lying unconscious in the aisle in a pool of blood.

An off-duty paramedic from the Pasadena Fire Department had been shopping nearby and hurried to the scene.

"The officers had already found the man down, face down, blood all over the store, multiple aisles, and the whole store is in chaos," the paramedic, Art Hurtado, told KNBC-TV.

Hurtado thought the man was dead but when he checked he found breath and a slight pulse and said he thought to himself, "I can save this guy."

With help from police and store employees, Hurtado collected rope and rags from store shelves and put makeshift tourniquets on both arms, most likely saving the man's life, police said.

"Were we in a good place for it? No, but you improvise," Hurtado said. "If I didn't have rope I'd have used my shoelaces. We would have made it work."

The man was in surgery hours after the incident, said Lopez, who knew no more about his condition.

The man, who looked to be in his 40s, was carrying no identification, has been unable to answer questions, and was not heard saying anything in the store, so police do not know his name or why he cut himself, Lopez said.

Police interviewed about five people who said they saw what happened, and Lopez said there were likely many more who quickly left the disturbing scene.

"It was pretty graphic," he said.

Surely he'd only ever be able to succeed in cutting off 1 arm? Why waste energy and time on going for both? With a bit of commonsense, he'd have managed to cut one arm right off. Either his schooling was bad, or the guy who came up with the headline is totally wrong in that the guy was actually trying to cut off both arms, and not just fuck himself up. Whichever way, I despair for my kids' future

If we had better laws restricting the availability of saws this horrible incident wouldn't have happened.

Frankly I'd love to see this happen in real life. I'd pull out my phone and start filming in sharp 1080p, like the most realistic horror film ever produced. Then I'd sell it on my blog for $4.99 per download. The news publications would be promoting the video. It'd be perfect.

I was in hospital with a guy who chopped bits off himself. He offered to show me how he did it - I politely declined and asked to be moved to another room...

I read that the other day. That's got to be some serious crack or something.

If only he had a gun, this wouldnt have happened.

CyberHustler · 04-14-2013, 04:22 PM

Stricter saw laws is the only answer

SilentKnight · 04-14-2013, 04:31 PM

Obviously the store's muzak drove him to the brink of insanity.

John-ACWM · 04-15-2013, 03:14 AM

I guess he was not going for suicide, throat would have done the job right.

BlackCrayon · 04-15-2013, 04:27 AM

he was probably trying to stop himself from doing terrible things to others.
