An Armed Robber Stabs Woman With Syringe

On tuesday morning around 1 AM, the 29-year old Holyoke woman parked her car at Chestnut and Franklin streets and as soon as she got out she encountered a man in a black-hooded sweatshirt.

The man threatened her with a syringe and told her to give him all the money she had. Upon his demand, she emptied her pockets and handed over $3 to him. Unsatisfied by this small amount, he asked her once again to give him all the money she had.

Upon hearing this, the man moved forward to stab her with the syringe and while she tried to avoid it, she got stabbed twice in the hand. He then told her that he had HIV AIDS.

The woman then activated an emergency alarm on her car, upon which the man fled away. She was then taken to the hospital where her tests are being taken and preparations are being made to counter the infectious disease she might have taken from the syringe stabbed into her hand.

The man was described as white, approximately 5′ 8″ and no facial hair. The investigation is still under process and there are several suspects.

Well, where is the wold heading? Now that the do not have guns and bullets, will the robbers threaten us with contagious and dangerous diseases that they have? Or is it just an advanced form of robery?

Car Drowned

Car drowned

This is definitely one of the most odd stories I’ve heard in a while, yet hilarious. Scott Kunico, aged 46 worked as a motorist. This Aloha Motorist dropped his cup of coffee while he was in his pickup and leaned out of the car to reach for it.

He accidentally put his foot on an accelerator and the pickup went being a powerful vehicle, smashed through a car parked in the parking lot, crashed the fence and jumped direct into tho the swimming pool.

There were no human injuries involved and police investigation is still being undertaken. The picture on the right shows of what exactly happened, this is definitely quite odd yet hilarious.

The Most Weird 911 Operator

Recently a 17 year old girl from Lincoln Park, Adrainne Ledesma made an emergency call at 911. The first time she dialed, she didn’t get the call. So the next time she called, she sweared on the phone before it got picked up by an operator.

The 911 service has the call recorded even before it is picked up and as soon as the operator picked it up, he started lecturing her on not swearing on 911. She asked for an ambulance and  sweared again and the operator hung up the phone on her.

Adrianne’s dad recently had a brain surgery and she found him unconscious on the kitchen floor which was why she was panicking.  She dialed the phone once again asking if she was going get an ambulance or not and the operator shut her up once again after calling her a ’stupid ass’.

The girl called a third time asking for the operator’s name because she wanted to sue him for misconducting an emergency 911 call and this time he hung up again on her after calling her a buffoon.

After losing hope, she ran a few blocks down to the Lincoln park police station to get help. After confirming that she was the same girl, the officer arrested her on a charge that didn’t even exist.

The girl was brought on TV to share this story after which the police officer was tried to be interviewed on this matter which was certainly called off with a ‘no comments’ call.

This is definitely the most weirdest 911 operator. Although the girl was not right on her part for swearing but if you’re an officer and a 911 operator then your duty is to help others not to get offended by callers seeking immediate help.

Listen to the whole call for yourself in this snippet from the TV show itself:
