A shocking CCTV footage captured the moment a man deliberately pushed a woman in front of an oncoming train in Brussels.
The incident occurred at Rogier metro station in the Belgian capital last Friday, according to news reports. Luckily, the woman managed to escape without injuries as the train stopped in the nick of time.
The footage shared online showed the man walking restlessly along the platform before he pushed the woman in front of the train.
He was filmed running forward and pushing the woman onto the tracks just as the metro approached. Bystanders rushed to help her up even as the train driver displayed quick reflexes and pulled the emergency brake, thereby saving the woman’s life.
“The driver reacted very well but is very much so in shock, as is the victim,” Guy Sablon, spokesperson for the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company, said.
The woman and the metro driver were both taken to the hospital where they received treatment and were soon allowed to return home.
Brussels’ Public Prosecutor’s office said the perpetrator was arrested soon afterwards at another metro station and charged with attempted homicide.
An investigation has been launched into the incident to determine the suspect’s motives. A psychiatrist has also been appointed to verify his condition. –ndtv.com
An Alberta baseball team hosted a Guinness World Record attempt involving an Australian shepherd jumping across the backs of 56 people.
The Edmonton Riverhawks, an amateur summer collegiate team in the West Coast League, hosted the record attempt for the most jumps between people by a dog in one minute during a June 14 game.
Chardonnay, a 4-year-old Australian shepherd belonging to dog trainer Jennifer Fraser, bounded across the backs of 56 fans arranged in a straight line in the outfield.
The record’s rules set a time limit of one minute, but Chardonnay managed to set the record in just 16 seconds.
Fraser said she trained Chardonnay to jump onto her back a few years ago, and her trick repertoire has since expanded.
“Jumping across backs is just one of her many skills,” Fraser said.
Firefighters and an animal control officer in San Francisco came to the rescue of a wild parrot that got its head stuck between panes of glass on a third-floor balcony.
San Francisco Animal Care & Control said on social media that Officer Mullen responded alongside the San Francisco Fire Department on Sunday when a parrot was spotted with its head stuck between two panes of glass on the balcony of an under-construction building.
Firefighters went to the roof of a building and lowered a ladder to the balcony, where they were able to slide the bird upward to free its head.
“They wrapped the bird in a towel and handed it off to Officer Mullen, who checked out the bird,” the post said. “Thankfully they were fine: their wings, legs and neck were all OK, so Officer Mullen released the bird.”
The parrot made its way to a nearby tree to rest on a branch. UPI.com
