A plainclothed Brooklyn cop was badly injured when he was pinned between cars during a routine traffic stop yesterday. According to the Post, the unidentified detective had pulled over a black vehicle in Flatbush with four men inside; he was standing behind the car when a white van rammed into him, crushing his legs and sending blood everywhere. “When they pulled him out of the car, his legs were hanging, dangling, it was terrible, there was blood everywhere,” said one witness. more ›

Lindsay Lohan, when not getting Billy Joel tattoos, is apparently still getting invited to high-profile events, like the V magazine party at the Top of the Standard (nee the Boom Boom Room) last week. And, in typical Lindsay fashion, things got a little messy BLOODY. more ›

Great, one more thing to worry about at fast food restaurants: bodily fluids being used as condiments. A woman got her order of fries with a side of human blood at a Cracker Barrel in Texas this week, prompting the restaurant to apologize and send the woman a $100 gift card, because, golly, that blood sure was delicious! more ›

One day Lady Gaga will have no choice but to shock us by simply being regular, but today is not that day. She has a new perfume coming out with top notes of an expensive hooker. She says, “I wanted to extract the feeling and the scent of blood and semen from molecular structures. [Blood and semen] is in the perfume but it doesn’t smell like that—you just get the after feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is primal. The perfume smells like an expensive hooker.” Last year she noted that it would smell like New York City, but it sort of seems like she got more inspiration from the last season of Dexter. more ›

An 11-year-old boy at Staten Island University Hospital to get stitches had to get emergency HIV testing after a madman ripped an IV out of his arm and sprayed the boy with blood. "The guy was completely unrestrained running with his IV needle swinging and spraying blood," the boy's father told the Daily News. The next day, the boy started an anti-AIDS regimen, and his mom said, "As low as the risk is, it's a possibility and basically that's what the specialist has told us." The blood-spraying man is being tested for HIV, and results are expected tomorrow. And who's terrified of the hospital now? more ›

After Gothamist reported yesterday on a vicious fight on an uptown 6 train that left a woman bleeding severely from the face, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is trying to track down the train crew on duty when the melee took place. "We still haven't isolated the crew yet. We are trying to isolate the crew and take it from there," said MTA Transit spokesman James Anyansi. more ›

The city will enact a new protocol allowing police officers to more quickly administer blood tests to suspected drunk drivers who have refused to take Breathalyzer tests. After several DWI suspects who declined field sobriety tests didn't have their blood drawn for hours — allowing them to sober up — the police department and the city's district attorneys forged the new agreement on Sunday to speed up the blood-testing process. more ›

While New Jersey may be home to the members of the Court of Lazarus, they meet at NYC nightspots at least once a month. You know what this means? Bridge & Tunnel Vampires! While they admit they cannot turn into bats, they do feed on human blood. It's all consensual, of course. more ›

Brooklyn-based Kelso brewery is pushing ahead with a promotional intended to encourage blood donations, despite cold feet from the New York Blood Center, which asked not to be associated with the blood drive. more ›

The NY Post reports that one of the wrenches in solving the Linda Stein murder case has been removed; the blood found mixed with Stein's in her bathroom has been identified. Previously referred to as the blood of a mysterious "Male A," it turns out it was that of Officer Anthony Seguinot's, who "accidentally contaminated the crime scene by washing his hands before the final forensic examination of the bathroom sink." This puts a damper on Natavia Lowery's case, who had been claiming "Male A" is the real murderer (a previous defense pointed the finger at a ninja). Currently locked up on Rikers Island, Lowery gave birth on July 6th. more ›

The Dept. of Health is looking into why hundreds of New Yorkers were informed that they tested positive for HIV infection after an oral exam, when in fact they were HIV negative. The non-infected status was determined by a follow-up blood test that was administered immediately. Still--pretty scary. The State Health Dept. and the CDC are investigating why the OraSure mouth swab tests resulted in an approximate 50% false-positive rate (The FDA's allowable false-positive rate for HIV tests is 2%). The Health Dept. reported that it has suspended use of OraSure as an HIV-infection detector. more ›

Lawyers for Natavia Lowery, the personal assistant accused of killing Linda Stein, are arguing in the press that a recently released forensics report practically exonerates their client from the crime. Police and the DA's office said that they'll wait until the trial to address the evidence, but that it was not as significant as Ron Kuby and David Pressman were describing. more ›

Attention turned to the car that Sean Bell and his friends were sitting in and a gun that was instrumental in his death at the trial of three police accused of killing him. Cops at the scene accuse Bell of striking one of the detectives with the Nissan Altima in an attempt to flee the scene, initiating a barrage of gunfire that mortally wounded the driver and seriously injured his two passengers. The bullet riddled sedan was thus examined closely during the trial to decipher whether evidence substantiated officers' claims or disputed them. more ›
