It seems close to a zeugma (or syllepsis?). When you apply some part of a sentence to two others with different meanings...

As in the sentence:

"He took the country in ostage and a bullet in the head."

(Where "to take" is used with differents of its meaning).

Yet, I am not sure, the figure here is a bit different...
