Man cuts off foot in bid to avoid work
An unemployed Austrian man who feared his jobless benefits would be cut off has sawn off his foot and thrown the remains in a furnace in a bid to render himself ineligible for work.
Hans Url, 56, was due to undergo a medical examination after job centre staff challenged his claim that he was too sick to work, the Daily Mail reports.
Mr Url reportedly waited until his wife and son left his home in Mitterlabill, southern Austria, on Monday and placed his leg on a circular saw, severing it above the ankle.
Before calling an ambulance, Mr Url threw his foot in a furnace to eliminate any chance the appendage could be reattached.
And I thought I'd seen every angle! :lol:
