This is a weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that have gone on in and around my apartment complex and in my neighborhood in the past 25 years that I've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 25 years here in a weekly blog post.
This week was quiet in my neighborhood so I didn't think I would have anything to talk about.
And then...
My daughter called me from work (she works a few blocks away in another bad neighborhood) and said a man had just been stabbed right outside the doors of her job.
She said a few homeless people were outside her job and two of them started arguing and one stepped in between them and got stabbed by one of the other two. The police officer right here is putting a tourniquet to the mans arm and applying a bandage to the wound.
My daughter called 911 and the police helicopter was flying around and the police got there really fast.
This is the man who got stabbed in the arm. This police officer helped to wrap his arm up because he had a really deep 4 inch stab wound to his arm. Then the police officer helped him over to the ambulance when it got there.
The guy was telling the officer what happened as they walked to the ambulance.
The man was able to step up into the ambulance by himself. Which I would think is a good sign.
Then the ambulance took him to the hospital where he underwent surgery to close the deep stab wound he had.
Some of the people my daughter work with were able to snap a picture of the man who did the stabbing before he ran off and the police told them that they were able to catch him a little while later. The police stayed at my daughter's job for a few hours getting written statements from witnesses and the police were telling them any updates they were getting about the guy who got away while they were there getting the statements and taking pictures of the crime scene..
The high this week was 105F/40C
The low this week was 80F/26C
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.
