This world is out of Control !

On Dec. 5th, I rebuilt 2 spindles for a customer. I pressed in 2 Torrington bearings and cleaned up all the burrs. I forgot to blow them off. He came to pick them up. He called 10 minutes later screaming and said that I didn't do anything. I told him to come back and I'll show you your old bearings and O'Reilly's receipt. He was back in 2 minutes. After a few words, He drew back and let the spindle go. It hit me on the left side of my head and bounced into the shop. Him and his wife walked past me and saw me bleeding, picked up their spindle and drove off. I was dazed and blood was pouring out, but I manage to get help next door. My neighbors took me to the fire station around the corner. The fireman started working on me and called the police. The deputy retrieved the information from my cell phone, went to my shop. My neighbors downloaded the security footage and gave it to him. He went straight to the hospital and stayed with me all that time until I was moved to the recovering room. 

Thank you to the Fireman at Cimarron Hills Fire Dept. near Palmer Park & Peterson.

Thank You to the Sheriffs Dept. and the Deputy.

Thank You to Memorial Hospital and to the medical team.
