OMG PD: Knives are for Food, not People

This week's theme revolves around the latest weapon of choice in the Lehigh Valley -- the kitchen knife.

Rule #2, Getting stabbed is never good. Getting stabbed in the face is exceptionally bad: A little closer to home, That's right folks, the face. According to the criminal complaint, police were dispatched to the park for a fight with injuries about 8 p.m. on Sept. 9. When the officer arrived, he found an injured woman with a puncture wound to her face. Police also found a couple of passed-out people littered throughout the park unrelated to the fight. 

Our unrelated story of the week is, of course, our most recent zombie attack. A Doylestown man jumped out of a window in the far northeastern PA town of Hawley screaming, bloody, and naked. Which is odd enough. ...well, that just wins the crown for this week's OMG PD.
