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）
A few new policies take effect this month, with the following most likely to affect our daily life.

Foxes are known for being cunning and resourceful, but a study suggests another surprising talent. Research from the Czech Republic indicates these creatures may use the Earth’s magnetic field when hunting. The study, led by Jaroslav ?erveny, tracked wild red foxes for over two years, recording nearly 600 hunting leaps by 84 foxes. Researchers found the animals predominantly jumped in a northeasterly direction, regardless of the time of day, season, or weather conditions. This preferred leaping direction resulted in a much higher kill rate, with foxes finding success on 73 percent of their northeasterly pounces on their prey. The results prompted
Earthquakes are among the most terrifying natural disasters, generating massive tremors and destructive forces as Earth’s crust shudders. These tremors not only lead to the collapse of buildings but can also trigger secondary disasters, such as tsunamis and fires. However, we can mitigate the impact on lives and property by mastering earthquake response techniques. The DCH three-step strategy, recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is crucial during an earthquake. “D” stands for “drop.” You should immediately drop to the ground, using your hands and knees to support yourself. This position prevents you from falling and
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang The potential use of magnetism to improve hunting ability is not the only surprising aspect of the fox’s complex behavior. The furry creatures are also known for their wide range of vocal expressions. They can produce a surprising range of sounds — up to 40 in total. The most well-known fox vocalization is the scream-like howl, but they also use barks, chatters, and whines to communicate with each other. These sounds are used to defend territory, attract mates, and care for their young. Besides the variety of sounds foxes utter and their possible use of the
