Man 'hacks off own legs' with a chainsaw
2006-03-03
A MAN who claimed a chainsaw gang chopped off his legs did it himself, police said yesterday.
This calls for a Leatherface pic.

The unnamed van driver told them he was dragged from his vehicle by attackers who hacked at his legs with the saw before torching his Transit.

But police revealed they now believe he turned the saw on himself.

Retired policeman Jim Edgar, 61, found the man lying on the ground screaming at an isolated spot in Shilton, near Witney, Oxon, on Wednesday.

He said: "Blood was gushing all over the place."

A police source said: "It looks as if he did it to himself. The pain must have been horrific. God knows what possessed him."

Officers would not comment on whether doctors had saved his legs.

The man was still under heavy sedation yesterday.
I'll bet.

#9  Heh, I dunno... I've been cut purdy good - hurt (and bled) like nothing else, before or since. Just barely made it - the ER estimated I lost just under a quart before they stopped it.
