California Man Attempts To Saw Off His Arms At Home Depot

According to police a California man entered a Home Depot Wednesday afternoon, walked into an isle, grabbed multiple hand saws, then began cutting his arms off. According to witnesses the ordeal sent employees and customers into a panic.

An off duty paramedic happened to be going to the store when he realized what was happening he jumped into action attempting to save the mans life. Because he was off duty, the paramedic had to become resourceful by requesting towels and rope from employees to help stop the bleeding.

The name of the late 50 year old is not being released and he remains in the hospital and is in critical condition.

The Home Depot store remained closed all day Wednesday and re-opened Thursday after a hazardous material team came in to clean up what was left of the gruesome scene.
