A thug who blew his own hand off with a pipe bomb has posted a series of bizarre videos from his hospital bed — and called himself ‘captain hook.’

The 35-year-old criminal, who has more than 80 convictions to his name, lost his hand after a suspected pipe bomb exploded at his Dublin home in the early hours of last Wednesday morning.

Gruesome photos subsequently emerged of the dopey lag’s horrific injury, showing that he had completely lost his hand in the horrific incident.

Now the career criminal, who recently served a five year prison sentence for burglary, has posted a series of videos from his bed in Beaumont Hospital in the Irish capital, reports the Irish Mirror.

As he showed off his handless arm, he issued bizarre threats at Irish Prime Minister Michael Martin and other politicians as he ranted: “Wake the f*ck up because the people woke the f*ck up and I’m coming for you.

“One hand or not, you can call me what you want, yeah I’m gonna get a hook for this. You can call me Captain Hook. I’m coming for you.”

In a video publicly posted on TikTok, he ranted: “I haven’t been questioned by any police since I came here in the hospital. I’m still here now. I’m sitting here in the hospital, Beaumont. I couldn’t give two b******s, I’m not letting them away with it and I want justice.”

And in a threatening message to the Taoiseach, gardai (Irish Police) and Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald, he said: “You want to get your guards in line… because when I get out of here I’m going to get justice one way or another. Because the law is on my side Michael.

“You, Simon Harris, Mary Lou, the whole lot of yous — you deserve what’s coming to you and I promise you yous are gonna get it by the Irish people. You speak for no one Michael and I’m coming for you and I’m coming for justice. I’m going for justice my own way.”

In a statement, Gardaí confirmed they had “attended the scene following report of an incident of criminal damage at a residential location in Coolock that occurred in the early hours of Wednesday.”

The statement continued: “A man, aged in his 30s, subsequently received treatment for serious injuries at Beaumont Hospital Dublin.”
