Cowardly bullfighter arrested for fleeing bullring

A Mexican matador was arrested for breaching his contract after losing his nerve and running from the bullring. Terrified Christian Hernandez dropped his red cape and ran from the charging bull during an event at the Plaza Mexico in Mexico City on Sunday.

The 22-year-old vaulted over the protective wall at the side of the ring as the crowd hooted and whistled in derision. He was briefly persuaded back into the bullring by organisers but gave up before coming face to face with half-ton beast and skulked from the ring a second time.

He was arrested after the bullfight following complaints by organisers that he had breached his contract. He was later released after paying a fine.

The torero, who was badly gored in the leg during a bullfight several months ago, admitted that he had lost his nerve and would now retire from bullfighting altogether. "There are some things you must be aware of about yourself," he said. "I didn't have the ability, I didn't have the balls, this is not my thing."

The second guy says, "I once had to pass a kidney stone, worst pain I have ever endured."

The third guy says, "You gents have no idea what pain is, I once had two of the worst pains ever. I was hunting and I had to take a crap, so I whipped down my pants and hung my ass over a log and BAM, a bear trap clamped right on my testicles".

The two other men both yelled "ooooooooooooooooohh" while covering their genitals. "That is the worst pain I can ever imagine, what can be worse than that?"

Veterinarian rescued after horse falls asleep on her

The veterinarian was called out on Saturday night to free a horse which had become tangled in a fence on a farm in Crediton, Devon England.

However, when she sedated the animal it fell asleep on top of her and she had to be rescued by firefighters.

The vet was uninjured by the bizarre incident and the horse is now recovering after being cut free from the fence.

Jim Laker, the station manager who co-ordinated the rescue for Devon and Somerset Fire Rescue Service, explained how the incident unfolded.

He said: "One of the vets got herself caught between the horse and the ditch, but she's fine and we got her out.

"They [the two vets] were concerned about whether the horse had sustained some neck injuries, and if it had some fluid on the lungs.

"The vets were not sure of the state of the young mare, but we managed to achieve the rescue with the horse, but whether it's initial injuries were severe they couldn't tell in the dark."

Cops Say Alleged Prostitute Made $700,000+

An anonymous tip left with management at a Meriden, Connecticut condo complex unraveled an alleged 15-year prostitution business and led police to a stash of more than half a million dollars, according to news reports.

Kim Wroblewski, 54, a petite woman with long blond hair, lived in one Meriden apartment and rented an apartment at the Brittania Commons condos for $1,000 a month, where she is accused of running a prostitution business, police told the Meriden Record-Journal.

She took clients between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., police told the newspaper, and told residents that she worked nights as a nurse.

Sgt. Leonard Caponigro said people in the area were reporting people coming and going, especially males, who would stay an hour and leave.

"We haven't seen a case quite like this in a while," Detective John Williams told the Record-Journal. "It's extremely complex and she kept very meticulous records. We are still conducting interviews and will file a supplemental report in a few weeks."

As police investigated, they found $31,000 in cash and ledgers of business transaction, and they seized $650,000 from bank accounts related to the business, police told the newspaper.

Wroblewski was charged with prostitution, second-degree promoting prostitution, possession of narcotics and possession of narcotics within 1,500 feet of a school.

Robber stopped to count loot outside police station

An 18-year-old man is accused of a robbing a woman at gunpoint before counting the stolen money outside a Chicago police station on the West Side. Jermaine Howard, of the 4800 block of West Adams Street, was charged with armed robbery with a firearm, a felony, police said. The man allegedly robbed the woman at the Kedzie Avenue CTA Pink Line station near 19th Street and Kedzie Avenue about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday as he was getting off a train. The robber fell down the stairs as he was being chased by the woman, who had also been on the train.

A witness, Munchie Wade, said he was waiting for a bus outside the station when he heard footsteps on the stairs and saw the robber fall. "She (the woman) was saying, 'Help! Help! I'm getting robbed!,' " said Wade, 18. The woman and the robber struggled for the purse and he pulled out a .22-caliber revolver, police said. The woman pleaded for her purse back, so the robber just took her wallet, police said.

Wade called 9-1-1 on his cell phone but said he also followed the robber on foot and noticed when the suspect stopped in front of the Ogden District station at 3315 W. Ogden Ave. Wade said he walked into the police station and told a female officer about the robbery and that the robber was in front of the station. The officer, Wade said, then referred him to an officer sitting in a police SUV in front of the station. Wade said he opened the door to the SUV and told the officer about the robbery. "He's right here. He's counting the money," Wade recalled telling the officer as the robber walked in front of the police station.

Wade said the officer got out of the SUV and the robber tried to run away by crossing the street. But the officer caught up to the robber on foot about 10:45 a.m. and subdued him with a Taser, Wade and police said. The money was recovered and the gun seized, police said. The woman was not hurt. "I was trying to do the right thing and help the young lady out," said Wade, who missed his bus.
