Shaquana Applewhite woke up to a scene out of “The Shining” last Thursday morning with blood covering four floors, the stairwells and the lobby of the NYCHA’s Bushwick Houses.
A Brooklyn mom was stuck holding the mop when the city dragged its feet in cleaning up the bloody aftermath of a vicious slashing in her building this month.
Shaquana Applewhite cleaned up the gruesome mess left behind after a man bled throughout her building last week.Blood was spread throughout four floors of the Bushwick Houses and down to the lobby after a slashing last week.“I just did my best to do what I had to do for my kids,” said the mom of an 8-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy.
Simmons said Alpha Medical Waste Removal was notified but had to wait for the police to finish investigating. Applewhite said she wasn’t surprised by the latest horror, since she has long felt unsafe in the “deplorable” living conditions in the city-run housing project.Helayne Seidman
