Cop given hamburger laced with glass
NEW YORK, Jan. 31 (UPI) -- A New York police officer suffered cuts to his mouth and throat when he was given a glass-laced hamburger at a fast-food restaurant.
The officer, who was not identified other than being 39 years old and a 17-year NYPD veteran, ordered a meal from a McDonalds in the Bronx late Saturday. After he bit into his Big Mac, he began coughing blood and was taken to a Long Island hospital, the New York Daily News reported Monday.
Police set up an operation to determine who put the glass in the hamburger. A few hours after the incident, a marked police vehicle used the restaurant's drive-through service. An undercover officer in the store saw an employee spit on the order for the uniformed police.
An 18-year-old suspect was arrested and later confessed to putting glass in the Big Mac because he "wanted to hurt someone," sources told the Daily News.
The owner of the McDonald's issued a statement saying that the safety of my customers and my crew is top priority."

EXACTLY! Government workers are not to be given special consideration. This was an EVIL act regardless of the victim.
What a hateful thing to do! Prayers are in order here for the prompt recovery of this poor officer.
I would advise you to eat where you can see what goes on in the kitchen nowadays.
