JEFFERSON -- A customer at a Route 15 go-go bar left a tip -- literally -- after getting his hand caught in a bar stool and somehow severing part of his middle finger, police said Monday.

With blood gushing from his left hand, the 46-year-old Hopatcong man somehow stayed in his seat for 15 minutes before finally alerting a bartender, Lt. Eric Wilsusen said.

"I don't know if he was watching the dancers or embarrassed," Wilsusen said, of the delayed report.

The man was taken to St. Clare's/Dover hospital following the 5:50 p.m. mishap at the bar called Pumps, Wilsusen said.

"The tip was recovered. It went with him" to the hospital, Wilsusen said.

Wilsusen, recounting the bizarre incident, said it happened shortly after the man walked inside and pulled up a bar stool.

"Somehow the tip of his finger goes between the seat cushion of the bar stool and the metal frame of the chair,"Wilsusen said.

"He sits down. When he does, it severs the (tip of the) middle finger of his left hand,"Wilsusen said.

An employee answering the phone at Pumps declined comment.
