Humber Bridge (CC licensed by Nico Hogg via Flickr)Police retrieved "five pieces of fingers" from the Humber Bridge after a cyclist fell off his bike
Humberside Police have reported recovering “five pieces of fingers” after a cyclist fell from his bike on the Humber Bridge last night.
In a tweet, the force said that Team Two from Beverley had been responsible for carrying out the grisly task.
It said a cyclist had, “left them behind after he fell off his bike.”
As far as we can tell, no-one else other than the cyclist was involved in the incident.
The fingers were subsequently taken to Hull Royal Infirmary, where we’re presuming they were reunited with their owner in some way.
#Beverley #Team2 Second job of the shift isn’t something that happens very often... we have just recovered 5 pieces of fingers from The Humber Bridge... A cyclist left them behind after he fell off his bike... now on the way to HRI... #JobLikeNoOther

Nine comments so far, and five seem to think the incident is funny....
Solidarity!
At least his Triad boss will be proud
I enjoy a bit of dark humour, but some poor bugger almost certainly has a life changing injury to their hands.
I hope they can make as best a recovery as possible.
Our hands are very important.
Agreed.
Very important!
That takes "giving someone the finger", to a whole new level.
I don't fully understand what happened.
It's good that they put a path next to the road on that bridge, but when you ride it your head is just at the level of vehicles' exhaust pipes - so you get to breathe in the gases cars pump out.
The cyclist is finding it hard to grasp, too.
Poor Man, Crashing on the Humber Bridge.
But on the other hand, im sure he was fine.....
Ouch!
