BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A Montana man who was injured trying to help corral a cow running in the streets in the state's largest city has been released from the hospital.
The Billings Gazette reports that Morgan Logan of Acton suffered a broken leg and had sore ribs after being thrown by the 1,200-pound cow after it escaped Tuesday afternoon.
Logan says he was driving a gravel truck when he saw police trying to contain the cow and decided to try to help them. He says the next thing he knew he was in the air.
Billings police Lt. Kevin Iffland says by the time Logan encountered the cow it had already tipped over a bicyclist, charged pedestrians and nearly jumped over one of the police vehicles.
A police marksman killed the cow.
A woman has horrified the congregation of her church in Spain after her attempt to restore a painting of Jesus went horribly wrong.
The fresco by Elijah Garcia Martinez had been admired in the Sanctuary of Mercy church in the northern city of Zaragoza for 120 years.
But after noticing the fresco had succumbed to damp and much of the paint had peeled from the plaster, the pensioner, in her 80s, embarked on a secret mission to restore 'Ecce Homo' (Behold The Man) to its former glory.
When the artwork was revealed, though, the original depiction of Jesus was unrecognizable.
To make matters worse, the church had secured a sizeable donation from the granddaughter of the artist to professionally restore the fresco only weeks before.
A spokesmen for the church in Zaragoza said: "The value of the original work was not very high but it was more of a sentimental value.
"The lady, who is in her 80s, apparently considers herself to be an artist. She acted without authorization from anyone.
"The church is always open because many people visit and although there is a guard, no one realized what she was doing until she had finished."
The woman's handiwork is being examined by art experts to see if the painting can be saved.
PLAINFIELD — Two people driving down West Front Street together on Monday morning apparently thought they were doing the right thing when they leaped out of their vehicle and rushed to the defense of what appeared to be a man assaulting a woman, authorities said.
There was just one problem: The woman actually had just robbed the man with whom she was tussling, and the would-be good Samaritans inadvertently allowed her to get away, according to city Public Safety Director Martin Hellwig.
The female suspect remained at large as of late Monday.
“The two (passing motorists) were not involved (in the robbery),” Hellwig said. “They were released and have not been charged.”
About 12:30 a.m. Monday, police responding to a report of a robbery in progress on the 500 block of West Front Street found the victim, a 26-year-old male who lives nearby, authorities explained. The victim reported that he was attacked by an unknown female as he was walking down the street, then robbed of about $400 in cash and a gold chain valued at about $500, according to Hellwig.
The victim said he tried to prevent his assailant from leaving the area, engaging her in a physical struggle, when the passing motorists apparently intervened, restraining him but not assaulting him, Hellwig said. The female suspect, spotting an opening, turned and ran, first trying unsuccessfully to hail a taxi before running down Plainfield Avenue, according to the investigation.
The victim attempted to pursue but soon lost sight of her, Hellwig added. After police arrived, the man provided a description of the motorists’ vehicle — a small, white Honda — and a vehicle matching that description was pulled over shortly thereafter.
The would-be good Samaritans, a 21-year-old city male and a 26-year-old city female, then relayed their story to investigators. Elements of the story were confirmed when video surveillance footage from a nearby gas station was located and reviewed, Hellwig said, adding that the entire situation was complicated by the fact that the victim was intoxicated and spoke limited English.
The footage included clear images of the female suspect and the robbery, Hellwig added, noting that investigators are making progress toward identifying and locating the suspect. The robbery victim was shaken but did not require hospitalization, authorities said.
