http://youtu.be/ecG1ivqI8og A violent California felon desperate to get away with kidnapping a stranger and stealing beer from a gas station led police on a wild chase through an orchard last month — and even aimed a stolen gun at a pursuing helicopter. Jason Benson Dingler, 43, allegedly carried out a series of petty crimes across the 16-hour spree before officers shot the fugitive on the side of a highway near Modesto, surveillance and bodycam footage released by the Stanislaus County Sheriff Monday shows. Dingler kicked off the wild spree at a home in the central Californian city just after midnight Sept. 22., police said. After loitering on the front porch for nearly an hour, a shirtless and filthy Dingler can be seen breaking down the door and breaking into the house as the homeow...

http://youtu.be/FWCN2INmODk A New York porch pirate targeted homes in broad daylight under the guise of delivering food as she canvassed residential neighborhoods for her next target, police said. Juliana Saggaram, 33, of East Elmhurst, Queens, was arrested Wednesday after she used her position as a DoorDash driver to approach two homes and swipe packages. Saggaram conducted the scheme twice in 48 hours before she was caught in the act on Sept. 3 in Manhasset, when a 54-year-old victim reported the stolen package. The alleged thief had stopped at a nearby Chipotle for a DoorDash order to use as cover, police said. Saggaram was captured on a doorbell camera as she walked down the street with the DoorDash order in hand before approaching the home. Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/1...

More than 2,000 people were rescued after Wednesday’s floods, the Sikkim State Disaster Management Authority said in a statement, adding that state authorities set up 26 relief camps for more than 22,000 people impacted by the floods.

http://youtu.be/_wnV_kTL56g An Australian woman fears she has a fatal virus after getting bitten on the head by a bat while on vacation. “I didn’t want to believe a bat had bitten me,” Sandi Galloway, told the Cairns Post of the attack, which occurred while she and her husband Gordon were sightseeing in Cairns, Queensland. The couple was strolling back to their hotel at around 11 p.m. after having coffee with friends when all of sudden Galloway felt something flapping close to her “I felt something flying over my head,” said the horrified Aussie, recounting the “Dracula”-evoking encounter.

http://youtu.be/Ovcu7YlQZV4 New York authorities defended the state trooper who failed to immediately follow the man who was later arrested as a suspect in the kidnapping of Charlotte Sena when he dropped a ransom note off — saying the girl’s frantic family was receiving a steady stream of well wishes. New York State Police spokesperson Deanna Cohen insisted to the New York Times that it did not seem unusual that Craig N. Ross Jr., 46, would drop off a note around 4:20 a.m. Monday at the Sena family’s home in Corinth because visitors had come “throughout the night.” “Like many other instances where families are experiencing something traumatic, we anticipated there would be a flow of constant traffic in front of the house throughout the night to show support for the family,” NYSP public...

http://youtu.be/d3zh8UW7Efw Newly released surveillance footage shows four people being sought over the mass shooting that left five people wounded during Morgan State University‘s homecoming week. The four are seen walking across a lawn around the time of Tuesday night’s shooting, with three dressed all in black — including one who appears to have his face covered, according to grainy footage released early Thursday. The clip then cuts to three of the group — including one in a white T-shirt carrying a backpack — rushing back in the opposite direction. Cops said the four in the video were being sought because they were seen near the shooting at the historically black college, where photos suggest the gunman may have fired through a window from inside a dorm building. Officials have y...

http://youtu.be/j1t87Vj3qcE A 76-year-old Florida woman was seen in a wild video fleeing from the scene of a hit-and-run crash — with the other driver draped over the hood of her SUV. Cheryl Henderson, from Palm Coast, was involved in a collision with a pickup truck on Belle Terre Parkway Saturday afternoon, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office. The driver of the Ford truck had blocked Henderson’s way with his vehicle to stop her from taking off — and then got out and stood in her path, telling her not to leave, according to ClickOrlando.

http://youtu.be/Q8T2vnI2Y60 Welcome to the wild world of pilots’ and air crews’ parties that turn layovers into Tinder-fueled bacchanals. NY Post Senior Writer Joshua Rhett Miller shares this story. The spotlight was cast on the untamed scene by the revelation that married British Airways pilot snorted cocaine off a topless woman’s breasts hours before a London-bound flight then turned up to fly the plane. “I’ve been a very naughty boy,” he texted a colleague. And while he might be an outlier, say cabin crew, there’s no doubt that he’s not alone. “I’ve seen a pilot puking at dinner on a layover from drinking so much,” one flight attendant for Alaska Airlines said. “He must have had some in his hotel room, so he was on another level when he got to dinner. The captain after dinner wal...

http://youtu.be/STkrM9EVrik President Biden said Thursday that he “can’t stop” construction of new sections of the US-Mexico border wall because Congress wouldn’t rescind spending on it — as he waived 26 federal laws to restart former President Donald Trump’s pet project amid record-breaking illegal immigration. “The money was appropriated for the border wall. I tried to get them to reappropriate, to redirect that money. They didn’t. They wouldn’t,” Biden told reporters in the Oval Office. “In the meantime, there’s nothing under the law other than they have to use the money for what it was appropriated for. I can’t stop that,” he insisted. Asked if he thought the border wall was effective, the president replied, “No.” The administration said Wednesday it was waiving 26 federal laws — ...

http://youtu.be/9M7Uc4-mXtg WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT. At least 49 civilians were killed Thursday in a Russian rocket strike on a village store in eastern Ukraine, one of the deadliest attacks in recent months that came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended a summit of around 50 European leaders in Spain to drum up support from the country’s allies. Zelensky denounced the attack on the store and cafe in the village of Hroza as a “demonstrably brutal Russian crime” and “a completely deliberate act of terrorism.” He urged Western allies to help strengthen Ukraine’s air defenses, saying that “Russian terror must be stopped.” “Russia needs this and similar terrorist attacks for only one thing: to make its genocidal aggression the new norm for the whole world,” he said. “No...

http://youtu.be/hZ7XapUuTIc A Long Island school bus driver has been fired and reported to police after being photographed boozing while taking home high school students Wednesday, officials said. NY Post reporter Melissa Koenig shares this story. The unidentified driver was seen “drinking an alcoholic beverage” while taking home students from Smithtown High School West, school district Superintendent Mark Secaur told parents in an email. “Once aware, the district intervened immediately and bus company staff met the bus driver at Great Hollow Middle School prior to dismissal,” Secaur said. “It was confirmed that an alcoholic beverage was on board, and the driver was promptly taken from the bus, and a different driver completed the route,” he wrote. Secaur said there is “zero toleranc...

http://youtu.be/rl6NMmg_6Sc Vivek Ramaswamy warned Thursday that the Republican National Committee will keep trying to “silence” him before next month’s third GOP primary debate, hinting at growing friction between himself and the party he hopes to represent in next year’s presidential election. Earlier this week, the RNC jumped in at the last minute to stop the 38-year-old biotech entrepreneur from appearing alongside rival Chris Christie on Fox News’ “Special Report.” An RNC official ripped into both candidates for complaining at the time, since they signed a pledge to not participate in outside debates and would be banned upon actually engaging. In his latest attack, Ramaswamy threw a punch at both the RNC and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, predicting that the situation between him and t...

http://youtu.be/-9sJ716dIUw A New Jersey woman was fired after a viral video showed her berating a group of German tourists on a New York City-bound train and telling them to “get the f–k out of our country.” NY Post reporter Alyssa Guzman shares this story. Brianna Pinnix, a 30-year-old talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, approached a group of male tourists on what appears to be a New Jersey Transit train, according to the Daily Mail, which first reported the incident. Pinnix, whose Facebook account says she is a Mahwah native and a 2015 Marymount Manhattan College graduate, has since been fired from Capital Rx, a company spokesperson confirmed to The Post Wednesday night. “Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conductin...

http://youtu.be/HuR1HaIEFtE A woman accused Walmart of racism after lobbing food at a state trooper who then restrained her in a New York suburban outlet while she bellowed, “drag me the f–k out.” In a startling video, the woman — whom police said was suffering from a possible “mental health issue” — is seen screaming at the officer while sitting on a motorized scooter inside a Westchester County store around 6:30 p.m. Monday. It’s unclear why police were called, but the altercation broke out in a checkout line — and the woman appeared to have an array of fresh produce on the belt, a video posted to Reddit showed. As the officer turns to talk to someone off-camera, the woman stands up from her seat and begins picking up her items — including what appears to be a bottle of pop and a bag...

http://youtu.be/XgYs90VCVqg A top morning news anchor in the UK was promptly pulled from the air on Thursday after police uncovered an alleged plot to kidnap and murder the star reporter. Holly Willoughby, 42, was “shocked and distraught” when Metropolitan police told her of 36-year-old Gavin Plumb’s plot just moments before she was set to go on air on “This Morning” Thursday, according to the Sun. She remained off the air on Friday and was placed under police protection outside the London home she shares with her husband and three children. A motive for the alleged kidnapping and murder plot is unclear, as authorities say Willoughby did not know Plumb — who is set to appear in court on Friday on charges of soliciting to murder and kidnap. He was arrested at his home, where police all...

http://youtu.be/zyOKn7NTSPM A 31-year-old model whose body was found in a luxury Los Angeles apartment was pregnant at the time of her death — which has been determined to be the result of “homicidal violence.” Maleesa Mooney was one of two models found dead in their apartments in the same area of the city just days apart — sparking fears they were both murdered. Her exact cause of death had been listed as “deferred,” but “Cause A” is now listed by the LA County Medical Examiner’s Office as “homicidal violence,” KTLA reported.

http://youtu.be/JJVVRy7XMP4 The swimmer who went missing after being attacked by a shark near California’s Bay Area has been identified as a tech entrepreneur and elite kite surfer who hoped to represent Gambia in the Olympics, according to reports. Felix Louis N’Jai, 52, apparently was attacked by the predator as he swam near Wildcat Beach at the southern end of Point Reyes National Park on Sunday morning, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. He had been camping at the remote site to celebrate a friend’s wedding when he went in the water with two friends, including the groom, and apparently was dragged under by the shark. Officials have not identified him, but friends and the sailing magazine Latitude 38 have named him as N’Jai, a businessman whose LinkedIn page lists him as CEO of t...

http://youtu.be/qQV85UsqSso Astounding video shows elated migrants wildly sprinting into El Paso, Texas, after crossing the Rio Grande — and crawling under treacherous razor wire. In drone footage captured by The Post, a young child can be seen jumping and cheering alongside two other small children as a group of about seven adults slither beneath the sharp wire that stretches just beyond the bank of the international divide. The group of migrants continued celebrating as they darted across the desert sand toward the border wall, which did little to prevent their entry into the US. Once a migrant crosses the river, they are on US soil and automatically entitled to being taken in and processed by the US Border Patrol. One man is seen clapping and pumping his arms in the air in celebrat...

http://youtu.be/VqTs0kcz4WM The Las Vegas man charged in Tupac Shakur’s murder bragged about being arrested in “the biggest case in Las Vegas history,” newly released body camera footage showed. Duane “Keffe D” Davis proclaimed the bold comment to an officer as he sat in the backseat of a police cruiser following the historic and long-awaited capture on Sept. 29. “So what they got you for, man?” the officer asked. “Oh man, the biggest case in Las Vegas history,” Davis responded before he was asked if it was a recent incident. “Sept. 7, 1996,” Davis added, referring to the night Shakur was gunned down in a drive-by shooting on the Las Vegas strip. “Oh no s–t, wow, that’s a long time away,” the officer said. Davis was indicted for murder with the use of a deadly weapon with a gang enh...

http://youtu.be/bk3Oz6z_QRY Syria on Friday held funerals for scores of people killed in a drone attack on a graduation ceremony at a military academy in the Homs region the previous day, one of the bloodiest strikes against the military in more than 12 years of civil war. Several weaponised drones hit the Homs Military Academy's courtyard where families were gathered with the new officers on Thursday, minutes after defense minister Ali Mahmoud Abbas had left. Syria declared three days of mourning. There have been no claims of responsibility for the attack. Syria's defense and foreign ministries blamed what they described as terrorist groups, without specifying further, and vowed to respond "with full force." On Friday morning, coffins carrying victims and draped in the Syrian flag wer...

http://youtu.be/GE2cyqRFnK0 An American tourist allegedly went on a bizarre rampage at an Israeli museum, smashing two ancient Roman statues because he claimed they represented “idolatry” that was “contrary to the Torah,” authorities said. A lawyer for the unnamed suspect — who was arrested after the incident — claimed he was suffering from a delusion known as “Jerusalem syndrome” when he allegedly went wild with a stick during the Thursday evening incident, according to reports. At least two statues — including one that the Times of Israel tentatively identified as a head of Athena dating to the 2nd century CE and a statue of a griffin holding a wheel of fate decorated with the Roman god Nemesis from about 210-211 CE — were left broken into multiple pieces on an exhibition hall floor, ...

http://youtu.be/O1BnLGi2oDY President Biden criticized the media Friday over the public’s economic concerns and again mixed up the terms “debt” and “deficit” — while also claiming he’s presiding over a federal budget surplus despite actually overseeing the highest non-pandemic annual deficit in US history. “You all are not the happiest people in the world,” Biden scolded a group of reporters at the White House. “You turn on the television and there’s not a whole lot about ‘Boy saves dog as he swims in the lake,'” he added. “It’s about ‘Somebody pushed the dog in the lake.’ I mean, I get it.” After that curious metaphor, Biden went on: “I think that the American people are smart as hell and know what their interests are. I think they know they are better off financially than they were b...

http://youtu.be/557STzaRJVk The 18-year-old man suspected in the random stabbing death of a beloved Brooklyn social-justice activist was arrested on Thursday – as cops raiding his apartment found a knife and a sweatshirt matching the one the attacker wore, police and sources said. NY Post Senior reporter Joe Marino and reporter Amanda Woods share this story. Brian Dowling was pictured with tears running down his face – and cuffs around his wrists and ankles – as officers escorted him from the NYPD’s 81st Precinct in Bedford–Stuyvesant after charging him with murder and criminal possession of a weapon. The accused killer was wearing the same white T-shirt and striped shorts as when cops busted him at his home on Lafayette Avenue near Malcolm X Boulevard — just down the block from where ...
