A thug who blew his own hand off with a pipe bomb has posted a series of bizarre videos from his hospital bed – and called himself ‘captain hook.’
The 35 year old criminal, who has more than 80 convictions to his name, lost his hand after a suspected pipe bomb exploded at his Dublin home in the early hours of last Wednesday morning. Gruesome photos subsequently emerged of the man’s horrific injury – showing that he had completely lost his hand in the horrific incident.
Now the career criminal, who recently served a five year prison sentence for burglary, has posted a series of videos from his bed in Beaumont Prison – as he showed off his handless arm and bizarrely issued threats at Taoiseach Michael Martin and others.
“When this accident happened to me…a firework blew me hand off and that’s exactly what happened,” the criminal said in a video publicly posted on social media app ‘Tiktok.’ “Right people, you’s probably know what happened or whatever you’s are seeing things in the papers and bullsh*it. I’m out of it on the morphine, right I have no hand but f*ck it, you’ve to go on with it yeah,” he says in another video.
Going on to give out about gardai, the man, who are are not identifying says he’s looking for “justice” for the “accident” he says he suffered. “I haven’t been questioned by any police since I came here in the hospital. I’m still here now. I’m sitting here in the hospital, Beaumont. I couldn’t give two bollicks, I’m not letting them away with it and I want justice.”
And in a threatening message to the Taoiseach, Tanaiste, Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald and the gardai he said: “You want to get your guards in line because if you don’t get them in line because when I get out of here I’m going to get justice one way or another. Because the law is on my side Michael. You, Simon Harris, Mary Lou, the whole lot of yous – you deserve what’s coming to you and I promise you yous are gonna get it by the Irish people,” he says. “Treason should be what publishable by death. You speak for no one Michael and I’m coming for you and I’m coming for justice. I’m going for justice my own way.”
In subsequent videos the dopey crim says the government needs to “wake up” and addresses his loss of limb saying:
“Wake the f*ck up because the people woke the f*ck up and I’m coming for you. One hand or not, you can call me what you want, yeah I’m gonna get a hook for this. You can call me Captain Hook. I’m coming for you.”
In a statement, Gardaí confirmed they had “attended the scene following report of an incident of criminal damage at a residential location in Coolock that occurred in the early hours of Wednesday.”
The statement continued: “A man, aged in his 30s, subsequently received treatment for serious injuries at Beaumont Hospital Dublin.”
