A man who was stabbed in Harlem nearly two weeks ago is alive after a New York City police officer used packing tape and an empty potato-chips bag to treat the man’s wound before medics arrived.

it's well known that new potatoes fit perfectly in bullet holes and often EMTs in the inner city carry around a small supply of them in the kit

Instead of lobsters, a baked potato bar will be available outside the County Co-Op on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. featuring a variety of toppings to be heaped onto a freshly baked potato. v
