Police: Lewiston man’s severed arm apparently self-inflicted

LEWISTON — The injury that left a man stumbling on a downtown street carrying his severed arm last month was apparently self-inflicted, police said.
Police and Occupational Health and Safety Administration officials have ended their investigation into the Jan. 21 incident involving Abdiaziz Hussein. OSHA was involved after it was revealed the incident took place at AK Market at 280 Pine St.
Hussein did not work at the store, police said this week.
“At this point, after speaking with numerous witnesses and reviewing hours of both store and neighboring footage, it appears the incident was self-inflicted,” police wrote in a news release. “It is not believed that Hussein was employed at the store when the incident took place. The injury was received from a meat grade band saw that was used to process meat in the rear of the store.”
The business is not licensed for a meat-cutting operation, city officials have said.
Hussein was found stumbling down Park Street by city workers. Witnesses said that shortly after 9 a.m. he was seen on Maple Street carrying his severed arm, which had been cut off near the shoulder. Public Works crews who were in the area stopped to help and called police and rescue crews.
Workers quickly applied a tourniquet while waiting for medics to arrive, according to Lewiston police Lt. Derek St. Laurent.
Police were able to follow a blood trail from the area where Hussein was found back to the AK Market. However, questions remained about Hussein’s involvement with the store. Police did not say why Hussein had been inside the business or exactly how the injury was inflicted.
Hussein underwent surgery at Central Maine Medical Center and has since been discharged, although police said he continues to receive treatment for the injury.
It was not disclosed whether surgeons were able to reattach Hussein’s arm.
Was Abdiaziz Hussein legally in the country?
If not an employee, how did he access the meat cutter in the rear of the store?
Even though, he was not an "employee", why did OSHA lose their investigation? Shouldn't they be investigating an non licensed meat-cutting operation?
And most importantly did the arm get reattached or not?
Maine reporters not to get on the ball with these answers.
With regards to Abdiaziz Hussein the only thing that matters is that he’s been disarmed.
“I said we needed an arm guard, not armed guards!”
I've had some experience with medical expertise in Maine. I'm betting that this task was beyond their ability.
Converted christian x-muzzie or mob “ persuasion “ ?
“With regards to Abdiaziz Hussein the only thing that matters is that he’s been disarmed.”
***************************************************
In the interest of accuracy, he’s only been partially disarmed. But it’s a start.🙀
I hate when that happens.
Would he give his other arm and leg to get his arm back?
Mooslimb scam to claim disability.
Give the man a hand
Someone musta told him “it’s gonna cost you an arm and a leg”, and he was thinking “half now, half when the job is done”
Maine would be better off if all the “skinnies” were eliminated.
BINGO!
Muslim putting “coyote ugly” to the test?
Was he in an arms race?
Had a lobsterman friend who got his arm caught in the line that hauls the traps in, and he had to severe the rest of his arm with a knife to free it.
Extreme makeovers home edition heard about his case, and jumped,into action, building him a huge home, and replacing his boss with a state of the boat
Here’s his story:

I recently heard he is now a pastor
meat cutter?
he could now have a much more lucrative profession now as a fugitive on the run, starring in TV serials and movies.
Sever, not severe, dang autocorrect.
Sheesh, replaced his boat with a new boat, dang autocorrect again.

Maybe he missed his head ...
