A Czech man who thoughtlessly handcuffed himself ended up at a police station begging for help. But the police took him for an escaped criminal, the CTK news agency said.
The 48-year-old man found the handcuffs in a trashcan in the southern Czech town of Brno, then took them to a pub where he bet his friends he could free himself with the help of a piece of wire, the way action heroes would do.
When he failed, he walked to the police station, but the officers did not believe his story and looked into his background to check if he was clean.
“The desperate handcuffed man first came begging for help at the police station, but he failed and had to look up a locksmith in the end,” CTK quoted a police spokeswoman as saying.(AFP)
捷克新聞社報導，一名沒有考慮清楚就把自己銬上手銬的捷克男子最後到警局求助，卻被警察當成逃犯。
這位四十八歲男子在捷克南部布爾諾城的一個垃圾桶裡撿到這副手銬後，帶著它去酒吧和朋友打賭，說他可以像動作片裡的英雄一樣，靠一根鐵絲解開銬住自己的手銬。
結果他失敗了，只好走去警局求助，不過警員不相信他的說法，反而去調查他是否有犯罪前科。
捷克新聞社引述一名女警的話表示：「這個被手銬銬著的無助男子先到警局求援，結果警方幫不上忙，最後只好轉而求助鎖匠。」（法新社╱翻譯：袁星塵）
The third-hottest July worldwide ended a string of record-breaking temperatures last month, but many regions were still devastated by extreme weather amplified by global warming, the European climate monitoring service said Thursday last week. Heavy rains flooded Pakistan and northern China; Canada, Scotland and Greece struggled to tame wildfires intensified by persistent drought; and many nations in Asia and Scandinavia recorded new average highs for the month. “Two years after the hottest July on record, the recent streak of global temperature records is over,” Carlo Buontempo, director of the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement. “But that
Whale sharks are the largest species of fish in the world. They aren’t related to whales, but take their name due to their enormous size. At full maturity, whale sharks measure around nine or 10 meters long and can weigh from 15,000 to 40,000 kilograms. Whale sharks live in warm waters, with about 75% of them found in the Indo-Pacific region. They can migrate thousands of kilometers to different feeding grounds, but at a slow speed of 5 km/h on average. Whale sharks have a broad, flat head and are typically brown or gray in color. Their distinguishing characteristic
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Whale shark reproduction has long been a mystery for scientists. However, a significant discovery in 1995 off the eastern coast of Taiwan provided valuable insights. Researchers examined a pregnant female of the species and found over 300 embryos inside her body, ranging from about 40 to 60 cm in length. This discovery revealed that whale sharks are ovoviviparous. Instead of laying eggs in the ocean, the mother carries them internally until they hatch, giving birth to fully developed live young. Since the eggs don’t hatch all at once, embryos at different stages of development can all exist within
Peacocks are among the most beautiful birds in the world. Their bright feathers and graceful movements have fascinated humans for centuries. These magnificent creatures belong to the pheasant family and are found in regions across Asia and Africa. Let’s explore peacocks’ unique characteristics and cultural significance. There are three main species of peacock: the well-known Indian peafowl, native to South Asia; the endangered green peafowl from Southeast Asia; and the rare Congo peafowl, found in African rainforests. Although the term “peacock” technically refers only to males, many people use it for both sexes. Male peacocks display their colorful tail feathers, which
