Streets become rivers of blood

27th January 2012

Residents in the northern town of Koscierzyna were left horrified this week after streams of blood flowed down the streets next to two schools.

According to TVN24, police, ambulance workers and maintenance men rushed to the scene on Tragutta Street as worried inhabitants looked on in shock.

Authorities later confirmed that the blood had come from a local meat-processing plant and had risen up from manhole covers and drains.

“The blood was flowing down the street next to two schools in great amounts. It occurred just next to to a nearby meat factory. Taking into account the welfare of the youngsters close by, this situation is appalling,” wrote one reporter for Kontakt 24.

Police received the emergency calls at 12.40 on Monday afternoon and whilst stating that the incident was harmless, claimed they would be investigating the matter further.

“Duty officers rushed to the scene as the incident was classed as an emergency,” said Janusz Matrejek, a spokesman for Koscierzyna’s District Police Headquarters. “We now need to determine exactly where this liquid came from and who is responsible for it.”

Whilst the blood has since been cleaned from the streets and the residents informed that the matter is harmless, many are still unhappy.

However Robert Fennig, president of the Municipal Enterprise Infrastructure (KOS-EKO) claimed that such incidents are common occurrences.

“This is the type of sewage that comes from such activities and these things do occur,” he said, before going on to stress that the situation has now been brought under control.
