9:30 am
hi, everybody. i'm beth troutman. if you want great videos, we've got them "right this minute." super human suspect. police tase the dude but he guess up. this taser had no effect on him how he shook it off once but not twice. panic on the banks as a herd tries to save -- >> a baby that's covered in mud. >> see the mama elephant who won't give up. a bone-headed robber must be thinking -- >> this wasn't supposed to happen this way. >> how a store owner turns the tables with a bottle of vodka.
9:31 am
and want little entertainment with that bottle of ketchup? meet the man singing the classics at sam's club. >> i think he might be the happiest guy ever, steve. >> yeah. you're looking at an altercation captured on camera between police and this man in the striped shirt. police close in and you will hear the unmistakable sound of a taser. >> this is all going down in victoria, british columbia, in canada. this man is still struggling. he gets up. this taser had no affect on him. keep watching because both officers deploy their tasers at once. >> oh. >> oh, boy. >> you see the man hit the ground pretty hard.
9:32 am
now, according to reports he was taken to the hospital with lacerations to his face as a result of this fall. you might be wondering why were police after this guy in the first place? according to reports it turns out this man had threatened a group of people with a knife. police say that that incident was caught on surveillance camera and that's why they found this man. witnesses say that's the knife in his hand and that he drops that knife on the ground. after he was treated for his injury, he was taken into custody and maces mumt tall charges including assault with a weapon. >> oh, my god. >> a poster of this video is claiming police brutality. the independent investigations office of british columbia which is the office that oversees police-related incidents, they were notified of this incident and they have decided not to pursue any kind of investigation. >> getting somebody into custody who doesn't want to willingly come along with police sometimes isn't always the easiest thing to do and what they have to do isn't always pretty.
9:33 am
so it looks textbook to me. what happens in vegas doesn't always stay in vegas, especially when it's captured on surveillance cameras. this is a parking lot in vegas. it's busy. ls of cars coming and going. some bone head like this. oh, boy. comes whipping out of one aisle and tries to make a quick turn. maybe he's trying to show off. slides out. crashes into this car. and you guessed it, doesn't stop. doesn't even leaf a noove a no e car. does another fishtail as he takes off. for as busys as the parking lot was, it doesn't look like anyone was immediately around. does that guy just crash? people from inside the building comes out. guy gets away. here again. same type of thing. bangkok, guy on a motorcycle. camera on the helmet. in bangkok it is legal to split
9:34 am
lanes. lots of traffic. you're allowed to ride between cars. as small suv changes lanes and he says the car doesn't use its blinker when it initially changes lanes and should have been an indicator that maybe this guy isn't quite paying attention. when the rider tries to dip through the lanes, this is what happens. >> oh, yikes. >> yep. >> ah. >> the guy gets clipped by the car. sliding across the pavement. said he got some pretty severe scrapes and cuts on his chin and his face. but other than that, he was okay. but the part about this is, the guy who hit the motorcycler just kept right on going. imagine it's your first drive of your family vacation to africa throughout the elephant park and this event happens. there's a pack of elephants and. >> warthogs drive by.
9:35 am
>> don't pay attention to the warthogs or this elephants. this video was shot by richard leonard who was in south africa on this family vacation. >> stuck in the mud. >> oh. >> man, it's almost like you wish they had hands, they could go in there and scoop him out, right? he looks so sad. >> he does look sad. >> so mom's fighting with a baby covered in mud, slick all over. and the banks of the mud pit are slippery. watch. gets up there and slips a little bit. oh, look at his little back legs. how cute. i love that these elephants come together and that they help their own. you can see the emotion. you can sense the love between these animals. >> the urgency, too. you can hear it in their tone. when they're calling to each other. lend a trunk. >> you notice after the baby was
9:36 am
saved, got right underneath mom or dad or whatever that was. kind of right between his leg there's. i'll stay down here for a little bit of time. >> wow. that was amazing. got a couple of videos of criminals. bad news, i think it's their first time. this is some cctv from the sbm food and wine. here is your alleged perp with just some dumb bandana on his face. walks in with a large knife and threatens the shop owner that he's going to shoot him. >> can he see? >> i don't know if he can see. yeah, nick, he says he had a gun on him, too. who knows. watch the shopkeeper. he grabs a vodka bottle and fights off this dumb criminal. we throws the bottle at the criminal who just kind of walks out the store. getting away with absolutely nothing. >> what boggles my mind is how he can see anything. had it over his eyes. >> especially this part where he's bumbling into things. i think you're right. >> maybe since he couldn't see maybe he thought he had a gun in
9:37 am
his hand. >> police do have a 37-year-old man in custody charged with attempted robbery in this one. first timers, group of guys, also, not that successful. this time from las vegas. this guy backs a truck in. looks like they kick and shoot a hole in there. two individuals enter with a a large strap. i think you know probably what they're after. >> the atm. >> bingo. after we do get a couple of lovely close-ups of these two guys these dudes make their way over to the atm and once they have things set ready to go, did have an accomplice in the truck as well. they go to drive off. destroy the door. atm does not even come into frame. >> please tell me they ripped off the rear axle or something to attempt to take this thing and didn't move. >> i have no idea how you don't damage your car with a robbery attempt like this. no, these guys didn't concede, either. looking for the public's help in

9:41 am
post and the store. >> it's kind of a blind intersection, though. who is at fault here? >> the accident is still under investigation, nick. at this point, no charges have been filed. the driver and the two emts inside the ambulance did have to be transported to the hospital but none of them had life-threatening injuries. it's amazing that an accident didn't result from this. we got this video from 10 flnew in australia. a bus driver in australia. but he's texting and driving and somebody caught it on video. >> this makes me so mad. >> when are they going to learn? how many accidents do we have to see happen before people figure out that they can't do this, that this is not responsible driving? >> and then somebody who is driving a vehicle with a ton of other people in it. you know, you have the lives of so many others at your fingertips and you're texting your buddy. >> he was suspended and he could face criminal charges. glad i've t got my ladies here because you will recognize this car. >> it's knight rider!

9:44 am
>> you see the lightning strikes over there in the distance. according to the guy who shot this video, bradley ambrose. no damage caused by this. the people were able to get right back up in that sky tower and look out over new sow land. >> what would be especially cool is if you froze it. >> it looks like a magic wand. >> i give you the world's biggest lightsaber. >> regardless. i'm glad somebody had a camera pointed at this thing. >> go up and check it out tonight. >> no. >> not the night of the storm. on the front line of a wildfire. >> this though is a real up close look at how accurate they can be. and when dogs talk. >> how do you talk to me? >> what do you want from me? >> hear the mouth on this pooch, next. >> look at that one. >> oh!
