Faces of the US military troops that stopped the train massacre in France

Spencer Stone, (pictured above) who is part of the U.S. Air Force, spotted the 26-year-old Moroccan acting suspiciously and heard him trying to load his weapon in the toilet of the high speed train between Amsterdam and Paris.

He was travelling with Oregon National Guard member Alek Skarlatos, 22, who was on leave and traveling through Europe at the time after returning from a tour in Afghanistan.

With the help of their friend Anthony Sadler, from Pittsburg, California, and fellow passenger British IT consultant Chris Norman, they managed to wrestle the attacker to the ground, stopping what could have been a deadly terrorist attack.

The terrorist, named in reports as Ayoub el-Qahzzani, had at least nine full magazines of ammunition holding almost 300 rounds. He was arrested by police at a train station in Arras and taken to hospital where he is now in custody.

He came out of the toilet brandishing the gun and opened fire, wounding two people on board. Fortunately, the hero passengers were nearby and overpowered him.

'As he was cocking it to shoot it, Alek just yells, 'Spencer, go!' And Spencer runs down the aisle,' Sadler said. 'Spencer makes first contact, he tackles the guy, Alek wrestles gun away from him, and the gunman pulls out a box cutter and slices Spencer a few times. And the three of us beat him until he was unconscious.'

'The gunman never said a word,' he added.

Skarlatos described Stone's heroic actions to ITV News in the aftermath of the attack. 

'Spencer ran a good ten metres to get to the guy and we didn't that his gun not working or anything like that,' he said. 'Spencer just ran anyway and if anybody would have gotten shot it would have been Spencer for sure and we're very lucky that nobody got killed, especially Spencer.'

He added that he was in 'good spirits' in hospital, but was still shocked by what unfolded.

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase, NPM fdc has enjoined members of the public including medical personnel to attend to accident victims and persons with gunshot injuries and thereafter, inform the Police for necessary action.

This became imperative, following neglects and consequent untimely death of victims in this regard out of fear of being implicated without Police involvement.

The Police High Command also directed its Officers and men not to harass good Samaritans/Nigerians in this regard, but endeavour to elicit correct facts in relation to incident from them.

Doctors on duty are equally duty bound to treat victims of gunshot wounds and further inform Police of relevant facts. The safety of Nigerians is a collaborative effort of all and sundry. Police therefore, enjoin citizens not to relent in their cooperative attitude in ensuring safety of all. While they are also to report any suspicious person or persons to the nearest Police Station.

Woman sues after police horse bit her finger off as she tried to pet it

A woman is suing a police force after an officer's horse bit her finger off.
Pernilla Ekberg was petting the police horse outside a New York bar when the horrific incident happened.
The 28-year-old had been socialising with friends at Max Fish bar, in Manhattan's Lower East Side, when she stopped the animal to pet it.
The Swedish national approached the NYPD officer and asked for permission to pet the horse, according to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
But when she reached out, the animal "chomped down on her hand, bit off the tip and spit it out on the floor", Ekberg's lawyer said.

Ekberg claims the police officer panicked and fled without offering any help.

Her boyfriend retrieved the tip of her right ring finger and put it on ice but doctors at Bellevue hospital were unable to save it.

Lawyer Eliot Bickoff said the injury is a "significant disfigurement" because Ekberg is right handed.

According to the lawsuit, as an analyst of marketing campaigns, she needs her full right hand to type, hold a pen, interact with people, all of which has been affected by the injury.

She has nerve damage and spent months in intensive rehab working to restore her fine motor skills which are still impaired, her lawyer said.

A city Law Department spokesman said the case was being examined.

Man injects Viagra into his manhood and it almost explodes

A man had to be rushed to hospital after his penis nearly exploded when he injected it with 'Viagra'.
The terrified victim had to have lots of blood pumped from his manhood after his lusty experiment went horribly wrong.

And unbelievably the foolhardy Lothario, 31, who goes by the username sorec**k, says he will do it again just as soon as he recovers.

The cautionary tale came to light on the social media site Reddit. His story began when he and his wife, 27, decided to try swinging and enjoyed it thoroughly. But his stamina didn't match his ambition.
He posted:

"I got a little greedy. "I saw a urologist and told him I had erectile dysfunction. "He prescribed various pills." 

But none of them had the desired effect."So the next step was injections straight into the side of the penis," he said. "I called it Viagra in the post title, but actually it's called TriMix. "Same effect though. "I initially balked at the idea."

After doing some research on the effects, however, he was sold. Initially things were going well, but when it was time to stop, he encountered a problem.

"And that's where things got dicey," he said. "I started pouring cold water over it. Nothing. "I took four Sudafed pills (as suggested online when you get an out-of-control erection). Nothing. 

"I started exercising major muscle groups, doing endless sets of push-ups, pull-ups, squats, etc. (also recommended online, in order to divert the blood). Nothing. "Three hours in, it was starting to really hurt...and I was starting to panic. 

"Knowing that the medication came with a warning that prolonged erections lasting longer than four hours require emergency medical attention, I rushed to the ER. "Telling the elderly Hispanic woman in triage what happened wasn't fun. "I was writhing in pain at this point, and...was so sensitive and painful, I could not walk and required a wheelchair because the sensation of it rubbing against my shorts as I walked was incredibly painful. 

"Yes, I was awkwardly covering up my erection the entire time. "Eventually I got wheeled into a room."I got two full doses of morphine before I calmed down a bit. 40 minutes later, a team of doctors and nurses came in. 

"The resident doctor was a young, cute Indian woman who - unlike the others in the room who tried very hard to act serious - read me and the situation better and made it pretty clear that she thought this was all pretty hilarious and cheered me up immediately, by turns making fun of me and being very vaguely flirtatious. 

"Eventually they got a butterfly needle and proceeded to extract a STUPENDOUS amount of blood...as the doctors took turns squeezing. 

"Needless to say, I'll be doing this again, starting at a third of the first dosage."

Some people don't learn.
