BRASIL : Sao Paulo Cyclist Loses Arm To Callous Driver.
After a Sao Paulo driver hit a cyclist on one of the city's busiest streets...he calmly drove-off...with the biker's arm still attached to the car.
The young college student told police he dumped the arm in a stream...ending any chance of it being re-attached.
He told police he was afraid the angry crowd at the accident scene would kill him...if he had stopped.
The cyclist was a window washer on his way to work.
The 22-year-old driver will be charged with attempted murder...and driving while drunk.
