3:00 pm
. >> hello, everybody. i'm beth troutman. it's time for the best videos from the web "right this minute." >> a disturbing scene as a young punk terrorizes an old woman. >> you hear his friends in the background cracking up. >> how a video of a bunch of jackals got them busted by the social media police. a bartender is going about her business. watch what happens. while you probably won't guess what blew up. >> it's not so beautiful. troopers desperately try to stop a driver. >> he is going the wrong way.
3:01 pm
>> why the ending is not what anyone expected. and he is the mystery speedo batman with a cult following. now we're about to learn who this masked man is. >> see the moment the mask comes off. this video circulated the web, went viral, and made people incredibly angry because these thugs in romania, look what they did to this defenseless older woman. one of them is grabbing her by her neck and spinning her around, but listen to her scream. you hear his friends cracking up. they live in the same neighborhood, and they probably
3:02 pm
are familiar with her. he lets her go. she's screaming. they, in turn, are cracking up. one of the guys is showing his muscles to show how tough he is, but it gets worse because then they start egging him on to do it again, so he and he does it . >> that's awful. they're just taking advantage of this -- >> they're torturing her. >> after the first time you can barely watch it. >> apparently this is a group of teenagers between the ages of 15 to 17. everyone on social media was outraged. immediately they started sharing the video, posting it. the good thing about this is they were identified and they are being investigated on charges of disturbing public order. the dwi that was spinning the woman was fined $50 and the two teenagers that were egging him on and the guy behind the camera were also fined the same amount. the thing is authorities may have to drop this case if this
3:03 pm
woman doesn't file an official complaint against these guys. now, reports say that because she's so terrified she will not do this, and probably what's going to happen is they're going to get away. i have some surveillance footage for you, and it's going to make you say what in the heck was that? behind that cute dress is 8-year-old laura beattie just doing her job, getting some change for a customer at the bar. watch what happens. >> oh. what was that? fireworks? >> exactly. that's exactly what laura beattie thought. she thought somebody lit a firework. she thought maybe a fuse box had exploded. if you notice, that object comes straight toward laura, and she runs screaming off the screen. that was actually an electronic cigarette that exploded in a charger and blew across the room not only hitting laura beatty and sending her arm and her dress, but it also hit another patron and left a little red burn mark on his stomach.
3:04 pm
>> that's from an electronic cigarette that's supposed to be safer? >> get this, according to report that cigarette was charging with an ipad charger. not the actual charger designed for that particular e-cigarette. it exploded, and pieces of that cigarette, including the tip of it, shot across the room with a great deal of force. watch it again. now that you know what it is. >> whoa. >> yeah. >> it looked like -- >> laura ran scream and crying. another patron at the bar had to take her to the bathroom to help calm her down. her arm was covered from black soot. this particular egreat had a lithium battery, and manufacturers do say that when charging a lithium battery, you have to take precautions and follow instructions, and, again, this particular cigarette was not being charged with the included charger that came with the item. they say always stay near an item that is being charged. don't leave it unattended. they also say don't charge it for too long.
3:05 pm
>> stop the vehicle. >> new mexico state police just released this video from a january 4th police chase. the man behind the wheel of that white cargo van is 72-year-old albert urban. he is going the wrong way on the i-25 in new mexico. what you are about to see is the dramatic ending of it. officer jonathan wright has just executed a pit maneuver. you see the van roll, but this incident isn't over. keep watching. >> oh, he keeps going. >> the car continues to move, so officer jonathan wright pulled out his gun and opened fire. mr. irving was shot in the arm. it wasn't a fatal injury, but let me take you to a few minutes before this happened. here you see officer wright turning around in the car. he sees the car going the other way. miraculously no other cars were hit. according to local reports, they say the chase went on for 17 miles. they did use spike strips twice. one tire was blown, but he was still going, and that's when officer wright used a pit
3:06 pm
maneuver. >> get him up. >> they're telling him turn the car off. they say get him out. it's obviously chaotic because somebody has just opened fire on this driver. why is this guy running? >> you say he is 72 years old? >> after they stopped him and got him out of the car, they asked him -- >> what are you doing? >> the man didn't know what he was doing because he didn't know where he was. police say that he suffers from alzheimer's. now, the d.a. has ruled that officer wright was justified in using force to stop this man, and he will not be charged, but mr. irving will not be charged as well. they say he is unfit to stand trial. he is now back home with his family, but the d.a. says his family understands his driving days are over. this may look like a casting call for santa's play, but it is, many of the, 3,000 reindeer.
3:07 pm
a managed herd of reindeer crossing over the frozen mckenzie river in canada. incredible video. they're heading north towards the arctic ocean from their wintering ground to their -- it looks like a wave of reindeer as they go over this hill. we've got this other angle of this migration. this video courtesy of david stewart. >> holy crud. >> really 3,000. it's not a joke. >> this is so cool. when do you ever get to see this? you say this is a managed herd of reindeer. >> yeah. the herd is managed by the 49-year-old man named henrik seva. he is actually featured in this documentary that's out right now called conger a cowboy. >> in the cabin nobody is around. you can spend weeks by yourself. sometimes it would be nice to have somebody to talk with. even a dog. >> this is the only free range
3:08 pm
herd of reindeer in all of canada, and this guy takes care of it by himself. he is an aboriginal from northern sweden who comes from a long line of reindeer herders. the documentary is kind of about how the culture of this job that he does and the traditions are sort of changing as technology advances. incredibly, interesting, obviously, he has a very close relationship with the reindeer because a lot of times it's just him and the reindeer out there. makes you wonder why santa only uses nine reindeer. strap all those together, and imagine how fast he could go. >> 3,000 reindeer power. tough enough to make a grown man -- >> terrified of this kid who looks like he is in concerned. sfwlirchlts an update on the race where teams buy a cheap car and drive it to vegas in costume and sell the car. >> take all the money they get and put it on one single bet. >> find out if taking the risk pays off. >> yes, yes! here we go!

last friday i told you guys about fool's gold, the modern day cannonball run. a bunch of people get into crummy cars they have to buy for about $2,000 or less. they dress in costume, drive from austin, texas, all the way up to las vegas. that's where they need to sell their cars, take all the money they get, and put it on one single bet. here's some video from this past weekend's event.
3:12 pm
this is the rolling wood a team passing up this ambulance who is also part of the race. >> oh, the ambulance is in it? >> oh, yeah. check it out. that is the mobile augmentation union et they passed up. >> who won the event? >> who won? >> the dukes of hazard team. covered 1,300 miles in six hours and 59 minutes. first place gets them $10,000. >> now, we talked with the griswold team last. they sold their car for $5,000. >> they said they were going to do it on roulette. like red. >> you're right. here it is. there's $5,000 riding on red right now. >> red. >> red! >> the waiting is killing me. >> there we go! >> they won? >> they won. that means they won.
3:13 pm
$10,000 on one hand. yeah. they have their choice. they can keep it or they can donate it if they would like. it's up to them. the griswolds didn't come in the money in the overall timed event. they did win the best costume and theme. after watch this next video i'm comfortable enough being a grown man and saying that i'm terrified of this kid who looks like -- i think you will be too. >> what? >> yeah. >> like he has the force of a grown man. half his size. >> he is kicking the trainer, and the guy is bouncing back a little bit. >> he is doing a little swing. he is ducking under them.
3:14 pm
coming right, left. >> the kid is good. it's unreal because he looks maybe 5 or 6 years old. i'm glad that he is in classes, though, because they can teach him how to use this power because that's a lot of power. >> note to everyone on the playground, don't mess with this kid. >> don't take his lunch place. >> this is terrifying to probably the cutest fight you'll ever see for the rest of your life. these two little girls are super cute. this is a judao competition. this is their first fight. they have no idea what they're doing out there, although i will point out they're very into the bowing element of this. you better watch out. they'll get head butted. it looks like they're going to dance a little bit, like do a slow dance, and then one just falls down. the outfits they have on are gigantic for their bodies. >> they can barely walk. as soon as they touch, they're down on the ground again. there's no aggression there at all. i think they want to be friends. >> i think they mostly want to bow at each other and then dance. >> i wonder if anyone is trying
3:15 pm
to score this match. we all win when we watch a video like this. it's the chimps versus the go pro cameras. >> it's like making out with one of these things. so see how they roll next "right this minute." >> still to come girl at the mall tries to walk out. but the girl with the jacket attacks her and then an accomplice comes, and they both start kicking this girl. >> the story behind the brutal beatdown. plus, a little hedgehog is having a bad day because -- >> this got his head stuck in a cup. >> oh. >> see how a helping hand saves the day. bulldog: [yawn]

3:19 pm
her and then an accomplice comes, and they both start kicking this 21-year-old girl. now, those aren't strangers to the victim. one of those girls is a co-worker of this girl. they're upset because the victim along with some other co-workers complained about the work ethic of one of these attackers and got her fired. that's what this attack is all about. >> they hit her head off the ground. >> it seems like it takes eternity before other people begin to step in, and the attackers begin to attack people trying to break up this fight. >> yeah. you just saw this guy slam the girl with the green jacket on the ground, but she gets back up and goes over to kick the girl still. >> according to reports, the girl was accused of showing up late and not doing her duties at work well. >> she's not doing her duty to her fellow man. you're not supposed to beat people up and kick them in the head and slam them against the ground. >> those two girls were caught, and they did pay a fine in court. now, this next video is hard to believe that somebody could be even worse than those two girls,
3:20 pm
but this is the lowest of the low. you see daniel jones who describes himself to police as a nine out of ten drunk attack this 42-year-old man in a powered wheelchair. he is trying to steal his bag. the baghdad that that man is holding on to got wrapped around the man's neck. he was wearing a breathing appe apparatus already. >> that did not stop daniel jones who continues to wrench at the bag eventually prying it away from the hands of that man before he takes off. but let me make you feel a little bit better. this guy was caught and charged with robbery, but he claimed that he couldn't remember the attack at all. in fact, at first he denied the attack to police. even after he saw the video, but the victim and a nearby security guard at a grocery store pointed him out in line-up. >> what does nine out of ten even drunk mean? he is drunk nine days out of ten. on a scale of one to ten he is really drunk? >> either way i think it's bad.
3:21 pm
potty mouth. sfwloom this hedgehog has a serious case of the mondays because this hedgehog got his head stuck in a cup. >> oh, the poor little fellow. tloo clearly not sonic the hedgehog because he could have done some cool spin and just shot that cup off his face. >> it cannot see where it's going because even though it's a clear plastic cup, there's still some milky ice creamy substance in there, and the hedgehog needs some help. this poor hedgehog could be the victim of your litter, of your cups. maybe the hedgehog wanted to get what was in the cup, but i don't think he wanted what was in there. after having his head in there,
3:22 pm
he probably thought this didn't taste like i thought it would. >> don't see there for a while. where am i? the orlando sentinel sent out a photographer to the central florida zoo. they had armed with a go pro. they go up close and personal with imba, a giraffe. >> that's one heck of a giraffe tongue. it's kind of fun to see that in slow motion grabbing that piece of lettuce. >> it looks like it's its own separate animal or gene simmons' tongue. is he the batman known for rocking the speedo and putting on a show, but -- >> the thing is no one knows who he is. >> now it's time for the man behind the mask to make an appearance. >> you guys

3:26 pm
he has gained popularity as of late. i'm about to show you why. we're also about to learn who this masked man is for the very first time. nobody knows. nobody in lincoln knows. we're about to find out. the masked man kind of looks like your favorite caped crusader, except he has become affectionately known as speedo batman, and are you about to see speedo batman from his apartment known as the bat kaf outside of pinnacle bank arena. this was after a bon jovi concert. >> check it out. there he is. >> he forgot his tights. >> you can see -- yeah. he got the mask. he has the cape. he has the speedo, and then the white tube sock, which is a nice touch, and you can hear how many people out there are pumped up to see speedo batman. no, this sent just a one-time thing. this is a legit mystery. this was after the bon jovi concert, but this happened after
3:27 pm
a jay zee concert. this happened after a pink concert in the same area. speedo batman makes an appearance, entertains the crowd. this has become a thing. there's even a facebook page about this batman in lincoln, nebraska. >> this is awesome. why even go to the concert? just go hang out with the crowd as people leave the concert. you get a better show, and it's free. >> the thing is no one knows who he is. the big news, we're about to find out right now because we have speedo batman with us on "right this minute." from the bat -- do you want to tell us who you really are? >> i think i'm ready to unveil myself. you guys ready? >> yes. >> how is it going? >> what's up? >> who are you? tell us who you are. >> my name is tyler schoberg, and i'm a senior here at the university, and i'm originally from minnesota. >> how did this begin? >> there was a couple of concerts before the bon jovi one, and we would have a couple of people over, and people --
3:28 pm
i'm, like, all right, we're not even close to the potential that we could get. next thing you know i'm dancing in a speedo and a cape dancing in the bat cave. >> what do you think about all this attention? >> it was kind of to be funny at first, and literally within a couple of hours i was getting text after text after text like it's -- don't you live in that top corner apartment? then i decided to make a facebook page, and that's actually when it kind of blew up. >> where did you get -- >> i think your local target in the youth section. it doesn't help when you wash and dry them too. they get a little more tighter on the buns, if you know what i mean. >> that's it for us here at "right this minute"." thanks for joining us, and we'll see you next time.
