WARNING -- GRAPHIC WOUNDS

[seakdivers]

He was obviously bleeding pretty good at an earlier time. His boxer shorts have blood soaked into them, and so does the material under his torso. There is obvious smeared semi-dry blood on his back in areas outside of the immediate wound area, which makes me think that the wounds had been cleaned & bleeding had pretty much stopped prior to the pictures being taken. These pics were taken in a hospital, so I'm sure they had to get him cleaned up to get good shots of the wounds.

My personal opinion? (ok with a little help )
1. It's likely he wasn't clothed in a police uniform
2. It was domestic (note that the tattoo on his back was slashed through)
3. It was done with a box cutter or short bladed type of knife.

But since all I've got is 3 photos and no story to go off of - it may as well have been aliens with a laser gun.

Anyhoo - to answer your question Bruce.... yes, you can be cut like that without gushing tons of blood. As long as no veins are hit, the bleeding isn't as heavy as one might think. He was cut in areas that are not particularly vascular, and are mostly fatty.

oh - p.s.
Eeewwwww!!!
