The Strangest 911 Calls Ever Made (Police Stories r/AskReddit)

nine-one-one operators over date what's the strangest serious emergency you've heard I answer the phone and gave my usual 911 police fire or ambulance and the person on the other end just started screaming bees bees I assumed that the bees were neither mugging him nor on fire so I put it through to ambulance because what the frick even , I assumed that the bees were neither mugging him nor on fire so I put it through to ambulance because what the frick even and now there is coffee all over my desk and my supervisor is looking at me weirdly take your upvote had a dude who called in on Thanksgiving because my wife is chasing me around the house with a knife because I called her bird dry also had a guy shoot somebody while on the phone with me also had a guy get arrested while on the phone with me I don't miss those days the emergency itself wasn't particularly strange vaginal bleeding during pregnancy nor was the coal mine but in training listened to a call that contained the following exchange so she's bleeding now yep where is she bleeding from from her bottom part which bottom part sir I need you to be specific her rectum front part huh wait what says she bleeding from her rectum or from the front God dang IT she's bleeding from her pee hole I think it's impossible to read that last line without a heavy southern accent 9-1-1 wot emergency there's a pig in the road a big one so where are you at the stoplight it's the biggest dang Pig I have ever seen get someone here now one-stoplight town the bar is near the intersection how big is the pig about the size of a Volkswagen how much have you had to drink I'm not frickin drunk it's a giant pig the size of a small car what is wrong with you people officers show up to find a full-grown hippo that had escaped from the local Wild Animal Park big freaking pig eater this was at 2:30 a.m. when the bars closed lots of calls from elderly people hallucinating because of aut one woman had been following CPR instructions and when the crew arrived she was doing very gentle chest compressions on her slightly confused but very much alive Kat we had the lady who would call all the time about people in her yard or on her house usually doing nasty things always a false alarm this lady had been calling since way before I got my job and even now after I've switched agencies she's probably still calling she's mental but not a danger to herself or others so no real need to commit her involuntarily well one day we get a call from her about a man at her house causing the troubles for her my supervisor who had answered the call finally got fed up and asked to speak to the man to everyone's surprise the woman handed the phone over to the man and there was someone there it was her brother he was there trying to get her committed we ended up I believe asking him to leave the property because he couldn't have her committed against her well at that time just goes to show you that crazy doesn't always mean wrong a family member was working in an emergency room and said the following case came in about a month ago a guy got high on PCP suddenly thinks hum I'm a bit hungry and would like to have some eggs proceeds to cut out one of his testicles and fry it in a frying pan his girlfriend walks in while he's doing that and goes what the heck at which point he's like oh woops sorry and tries to put his fried testicle back in his scrotum then he was in the hospital I don't know the result but I can guess this made my balls shrivel up into my body and I'm a female Jesus I've got one for ya the obligatory not 911 together so I worked for an alarm monitoring company I get an inbound call in the middle of the night from somewhere in Philadelphia guy on the line sounds real out of it drunk maybe my first thought was it was someone calling in to cancel a false alarm messed up voice was then waking from sleep not uncommon similans start going off in my head the guy isn't making a whole lot of sense and it's really hard to get basic information out of him eventually I pieced together that he's a gas station worker and he's been shot for some reason he dialed the alarm company instead of 9-1-1 we weren't even his alarm company there was probably an old sticker in the shop somewhere so I've got no info on this guy mind you we don't have any magical reverse phone lookup system and our systems are locked down such that we can't access a web browser genius I know pulled out my phone also not allowed managed to look up a gas station with the inbound number in Philly called 9-1-1 got police and medical out there no idea how it altum Utley shook out stayed on the line keeping the guy conscious and talking until they got there then disconnected my sister is an EMT in a small rural college town apparently there have been more than one calls about horses collapsing and hurting their rider handler broken arms legs trapped under horse etc when she was new to it someone just described it as a collapsed horse and she thought that they were supposed to treat the horses condition I'm close to an area where equestrian stuff is pretty popular when I was a medical student on trauma I was surprised we had like four horse related injuries on service at the same time apparently it isn't that unusual here heard this one the other day not from the perspective of an operator but close em responds to a call where a man reported having multiple potatoes stuck up his rectum : not red potatoes those big brown suckers the kicker I was washing my potatoes in the shower when I slipped and fell and all the potatoes went up there what I wouldn't even try to say I fell on it I know nobody would believe me and I'd look like a bigger idiot I just owned it and the dispatchers would probably make just a little less fun if me behind my back my mom was a dispatcher for 20-plus years the area school she ever told me about was one that started off with no voice only breathing she kept asking yes or no questions working out a system to guess what was going on eventually he talk a little bit and said the person who hurt him was still there so the officers went in guns drawn he'd said the person was there but hadn't specified that they were dead turns out the guy couldn't talk because his throat was sliced open which he had done to himself to make it look like his wife whom he had just murdered had attacked him first I got dispatched for neck pain get there find out a couple were having sex on a couch when the female heard a large pop in her head followed by splitting headache and nausea we transport and after a CT scan find that she somehow developed a tear in her arachnoid meningeal tissue serious crap but humorous and odd row he almost literally flicked her brains out not sure if that makes him a legend or a monster lol I once dispatched a helicopter for a woman gored by a reindeer apparently there is a reindeer farm for tourists and she tried to kiss it my pilot and flight crew laughed at the mo and asked three times to repeat I responded to a man in his whitey tighties standing on the yellow lines in the middle of the road arrived on scene to find this to be true the reason he was in the middle of the road was to practice his karate moves on cars dispatch was even having a hard time keeping from laughing the very first emergency call I took by myself during training Trainor was hooked into my phone and could jump in whenever I answered a 911 ur was trying to grab a cup of coffee from the machine long cords and as soon as the phone connected there was what sounded like an explosion and people screaming all over the place scared the Jesus out of my trainer who sprinted back to the desk thinking I had just picked up some huge disaster or accident takes over the call starts asking questions and it turns out what we heard was just rushing water from a hot water heater that ruptured and was spewing water all over these two girls apartments and they were freaking out not knowing what to do about it bonus story had a similar call a few year later picked up to a bunch of people being loud sounding panicked talking about someone being locked in a car thought it was a child locked in a car a very high-priority call for my agency duty being in Florida and a few recent deaths so I put the call in his urgent while trying to get anyone on the phone to actually talk to me but then I hear a door open and someone in the background scream it's out the chicken is free phone disconnects Florida comma Florida say no more the first call I took was from a blind elderly male he called because he had found his son on the floor of her bedroom he was not responding so I had him tilt his head back and listen for a breath nothing he said he was warm and he had talked with him less than 20 minutes prior so I guided him through CPR compressions only because of the circumstances he lived in a rural part of our County and we will know on riggs so we did this for about 12 minutes before help arrived on scene MS goes inside and immediately asked for PD this isn't unusual sometimes loved ones can't or don't want to believe that it's too late so we go through the motions until a train dies there PD gets there and asks for a detective this is also not unusual for younger deaths two hours later and still there it piques my curiosity I called the first officer that arrived and found out that the poor man had been doing CPR on his now mostly headless son he had been taking a nap and his son committed suicide with a shotgun it woke him up but not quick enough for it to register as a gunshot when I had asked him to tilt his head back he did so by using his chin which was still there I think it worked out for the best because he had support there when he learned the truth and it didn't make my job any tougher but have definitely made for unusual start to my dispatch career obligatory knot 9-1-1 operator i'm the son of the caller my dad called 9-1-1 late to one night to report hitting a six-foot-tall chicken while driving and running off into the ditch he had just crashed his car and his voice was a bit shaky on the phone so the operator asked him to repeat himself a couple of times and then promised to send someone to help the first cop on scene got out of his car with a breathalyzer in hand by the time he got to the back of my dad's car he was laughing hysterically over his radio telling people that it wasn't a DUI call my dad actually did hit a six-foot-tall chicken and that's the story about the night my dad and all the local cops learned about emu farming I think I'd be panicking just as much it's one thing to hit a normal animal another to run over a dang emu not me it's my dad works in an emergency room and one time he had to treat someone who had been attacked by an owl the owl was unconscious on the side of the road and she thought it was dead because she didn't want the children on the school bus to see the dead al she decided the best course of action would be to put the owl in the back of her car unfortunately the owl wasn't dead it woke up and attacked her like the deer in tummy boy okay so my friend is a former 9-1-1 operator and she told me that she got this call from what sounded like an old man he was telling her that it's been a while and that she should come back over like hey it's been so long I miss you do you still remember the address 123 Street remember she assumed that he was just senile or something turns out he had someone in his house and he didn't want them to know he was calling 9-1-1 we got a call from a woman having severe abdominal pains simple enough we asked the normal questions are you feeling faint are you vomiting blood stuff like that then we asked if it was traumatic or not well she eventually tells us that she had a tampon stuck inside of her for more than 20 days and she thinks that might be why she's hurting thanks for telling me that second story I'm gonna go throw up now not me but my cousin she had this lady who would call regularly and often make up stories most likely due to loneliness but they still had to send someone out every time so one day when they got a call from her they figured it would be another one of those calls cousin 911 see her there's a lion in my living room cousin there's a lion in your living room what's it doing her pause is to ask it what it was doing I don't know just standing there can you send someone over turned out there actually was a lion cub in her living room that had escaped from a circus or something nearby she's the real-life Boyle cried wolf story except she still had a response in the end obligatory not a 9-1-1 operator but my soon-to-be mother-in-law she got a call that a guy and his roommate were doing drugs H and the caller's friend overdosed so this absolute Mensa hooks up a couple wires to the inside of a toaster turns the toaster on and attaches the wires to his unconscious friends testicles honestly not sure if it successfully electrocuted the unconscious guy but the caller definitely seemed to think it would wake his friend up but my mother-in-law's response so please don't do that again at first I was thinking somehow he was going to miraculously use it as some sort of defibrillator to revive him but the story turned quickly I still give it a 10 stroke 10 woman screaming that her drug addict partner had been bitten by Herve I'm around a dog she was going on about how he loved the dog and the dog was lovely normally but her partners finger was bleeding when the crew got there they reported back to the control room that the man's arm had been degloved from the elbow down yikes got a call from some girl saying someone stole my car I asked if she saw what direction they went she says they're heading down the street and starts telling me the stores they're passing I asked if she's following them she says that she is in the car I freak the freak out she then says to whoever is driving babe slow down this is crazy turns out she and her boyfriend were arguing he started driving crazy since he was mad and she decided to call it in as a stolen vehicle another story we get a call that there's two loose dogs running around a major street about 30 seconds later an officer comes over the radio to tell me that they just hit two dogs on the street same dogs that's just a couple of - stories I could think of I'll post more as I think of them 9-1-1 operators should have a million crazy stories I only did it for four months was a 9-1-1 op for five years had a female call screaming he's stabbing me he's stabbing me she's get away from her husband who's going at her over and over with an ice pick it becomes evidence to me that she's moving around the house in an attempt to get away I'm telling her can you barricade yourself can you get away from him can you get out of the house she told me that she's trying in that interjects that her husband is blind now I'm really confused she's not giving me much information typical with panicky victims in the heat of a crime and I'm trying to figure out how she can't get away from a blind person she gets quiet and I can hear him saying all kinds of nasty things about her cops get there secure the scene and they fight her to a trauma center she lived still we were all standing around after her so confused that this woman couldn't escape a blind man from stabbing her had lived with a blind person they can't move with the confidence that would surprised the heck out of you when they need to in a highly familiar environment anyhow one ultra calm Cola girlfriend is having a fit me does she have any weapons him just the eggs throwing up me me what is she wearing him underwear too took a call for a hostage situation in a cab once the driver was talking to me but trying not to make it obvious passenger implied a weapon and wanted him to drive to the middle of nowhere so that he could kill him in the lady in the front seat the driver ended up crashing into another car to cause a distraction three screaming lady Cora he's throwing the car thing at me II it was a hubcap for he flushed my weed so I poured his beer out and we bout to throw down five guy found his pet cat's head sitting upright on the table on his front porch nobody called back later someone had placed the body in his car one reminds me of a call i dispatched for where the subject was hitting people with a sub from Subway one of my proudest moments was updating the units in route that their subject was armed with a sandwich in the most serious tone possible of course it was my call to 9-1-1 but something tells me they've relayed this story from their prospective a few times I got hit from behind by one of my 220 pound Suffolk Ram sheep never saw it coming knocked the snot out of me barely escaped as he was trying to finish me off once outside the fence I went into shock as all the adrenaline drained had to call 9-1-1 overheard the EMT in the ambulance trying to clarify to the ER that the patient they were transporting was not a victim of pedestrian versus truck the hospital thought I'd been hit by Dodge Ram Pickup my friend in the told me how someone passed out on an escalator in his hand was running unto the grate where the top of the escalator meets the floor for half an hour before someone found him his hand was pretty messed up from what I heard thank you for giving me a reason not to sleep for weeks that's one dream I don't need one jogger found drunk mail passed out in the bushes with his pants around his ankles but he was apparently robbed of his wallet but the thief was considerate enough to leave a single debit card wedge between and sticking out off victim's buttocks we called the poor bastard swipe ATM for weeks to couple having sex in hotel room female falls off the bed and lands on a champagne flute breaking it at the stem puncturing through the side of her groin and hitting a femoral artery she bled out and died I was a zero operator not 9-1-1 but many small towns didn't have 9-1-1 so i got quite a few emergency calls i got a call from a 13 year old girl once that had just gotten home from school she couldn't find her father but there was an ominous note there that she had read to me i had police on the way and told her to wait outside for them rather I heard her walking around her house going from room to room opening doors looking for him after about a minute she let out a blood-curdling scream yelling he's here he's here he's here he was hanging dead in the garage was a terrible call I got a 15-minute break and had to get back on the board taking calls again it's been almost 20 years and I can still hear her voice strangest call kid who felt experiment II and lost an adult toy up his ass and wasn't anything I could do but transport to the ER and try not to laugh most serious call milk truck t-boned an Amish buggy going about 60 miles per hour the buggy was in the wrong it annihilated the buggy and I don't remember for sure but I'm pretty sure the occupants inside did not survive I remember they got flown to the ER with massive trauma but it was like 2007 to 2009 ish been an EMT for over 12 years now going on 13 I feel old lol pretty sure I'm going to move back to volunteering soon I sometimes drive in Amish country and they always scare the heck out of me a friend of the family was potentially still is a paramedic with the helicopter service here I'm not sure if this was when he was a ground-based or in the helicopter but he enjoyed this story he was called out to a head trauma incident and arrived to find a man sitting in his living room acting very normal for a call like that so he asked what was wrong in the man said well I've got this here and turned to show a screwdriver buried to the hills in his head so the paramedic obviously said something along the lines of how that isn't good and the man said now it's alright and began turning the screwdriver they told him to stop I had a professor who exploded a cat with a shotgun in an attempt to get it out of a tree and another who made his partner pass out by having a girl show him her eyeball that hadn't popped out after a car accident that first story made me cringe like now
