Bwog is inclined to giggle at the absurdity of this one, but then wants to break down in tears.
A disgruntled man took a chainsaw to a postal worker on the platform of the 110th street subway station this morning. Two chainsaws, actually. The victim told the Associated Press, "He just kept stabbing me and stabbing me and stabbing me."
A suspect has been apprehended for the crime -- he gave himself away when he randomly punched someone in the neighborhood two hours later.
This comes only a few weeks after the random stabbings of four people by a homeless man in or around subway cars and stations.
Update: Spec has an account of the attack which involves arm pumping.
