The New York Police Department is investigating a Queens deli after a police officer on duty claimed he suffered injuries after biting into a razor blade that was inside his sandwich.

An NYPD spokesperson told Fox News on Friday the unidentified plainclothes cop purchased the sandwich at Bon Appetit Specialty Food Store. After biting into the sandwich, the officer allegedly felt a “hard metal object” in his mouth and subsequently removed a razor blade.

The officer was taken to a local hospital and treated for unspecified injuries, the spokesperson said. No arrests have been made as of yet, as the NYPD is still investigating the incident.

A photo of the sandwich and razor blade was tweeted out by NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea, who rebuked the incident as “abhorrent.”

“To repeat: The NYPD has ZERO tolerance for acts of violence against our police officers,” Shea tweeted. “He’ll be OK, but a full investigation into this abhorrent act is underway.”

The razor blade incident prompted a flurry of negative comments about the eatery online.

“If you like razor blades in your sandwich, this is your spot! Disgusting,” someone posted on the deli’s apparent Facebook page.

Another person commented on the store’s Google page, writing “Would give zero if i could. They put razor blades in your food!! Good luck eating here!"
