Man beaten with his own leg….

http://abclocal.go.com/wjrt/news/080505_NW_r2_leg_beating.html

Couldn't get away?? I wonder why…

He should have been the bigger man and….. Just walk away!

Wonder if he had to pay an arm and a leg for the hospital bill?

Why she getting mad? He just wanted to take things one foot at a time…

She was probably trying to run with the relationship and he couldn't keep up…

He should have just stood up to her and kept his feet planted...

But I understand it's often hard to walk away from an abusive relationship...

As far as the girlfriend… her defense lawyer won't have a leg to stand on in her defense case…

 

Ya, apparently he was able to manage a hop, skip, and a jump!

Greg Gale has had some rough times.

He lost his leg in a train accident twenty years ago, and now, he's been beaten by his own prosthetic leg. Gale tells abc12's Jennifer Borrasso he and his girlfriend, Tammy Johnson, got into an argument at his Midland apartment this past Wednesday night.

He says she started beating him in the face and head several times with one of his spare prosthetic legs. He tried to get away, but says she followed him out the door, still hitting him with the leg.

A witness saw Gale and called police.

"She tried to kill me," Gale said. I've known her for years," he said, thinking that she is frustrated with their relationship. "Probably because I won't commit... I'm not sure."

Tammy Johnson is in the Midland County jail tonight.

She faces two felony counts - an assault with a dangerous weapon and larceny.

Police say she tried to steal the leg.

She'll soon head back to court for a preliminary hearing.
