Police tell OAP they are too busy to collect a blood-stained sword thugs dumped in his hedge

A disabled pensioner dialled 999 after finding a blood-stained sword dumped in his garden – and was told police were too BUSY to help.

Stuart Ingram, 85, also says the police call handler put the phone down on him when he reported finding the 2ft-long weapon. The widower, who has six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, has blasted West Midlands Police after he was told to hand the sword into cops himself.
