Closer examination by the Sesame Street Paramedics revealed Bert had been brutally beaten with a paper clip pimpstick. Ernie was promptly arrested. This is a Police crime scene photo of Bert after a horrendous beating at the hands of Ernie and his paper clip pimpstick. Bert suffered a broken nose, a black eye, a bloody lip, an especially nasty cut on his head that required nine stitches to close, and if you look closely you can see the bruises on Berts neck from where Ernie had attempted to strangle him. Bert refused to press any charges.
