4:02 pm
recognized him as a police officer, and yelled an expletive and tried to punch him in the face. though officer sawer got him under control, one of clark's friends, kyle thomas wesaw came in and also tried to attack this >> what kind of knuckle head kicks some guy in the face at a fair? >> as he tried, we saw what was coming after him, he ended up with wesaw's finger in his teeth and this was wesaw's way of fighting back. >> they obviously have an issue with police. maybe that's all it is. now, clark, he was arrested at the state fair. wesaw fled the state fairgrounds. this video played a key part in the arrest of wesaw, because they recognized him, found him and arrested him. both men have been charged with assault. >> is the officer okay? i mean, he got kicked in the face. >> he apparently for a few minutes was knocked unconscious
4:03 pm
during this fight. he was taken to a local hospital for treatment. reports even say he was suffering from some memory loss in this incident, because he was hit so hard. we've seen a lot of crazy videos out this russia, and this dash cam video proves we're going to see more. you won't believe what happens when this woman falls asleep on the scooter. that's right, the person riding the scooter is asleep. that's the only way to explain what happens. >> oh, boy. oh, boy! >> oh! oh! >> she was headed straight for that huge giant truck, like straight head-on. >> and barely missed it head-on. she ended up grazing it. her head was running down the trailer. >> it was running down the trailer. she is on the right side of the truck in front of her and the truck coming in her direction swerved out of the way, but she hits the trailer of the truck.

she survived this incident. the only thing that didn't was her scooter. >> we don't know for sure she was asleep but i can't think of anything else she would have been doing. >> how do you fall asleep on a scooter? >> i don't know. how else could we explain how she hit that other truck? it's unbelievable to me she gets up and she doesn't look any worse for the wear. i'm sure she was banged up. but here, it doesn't look like this woman just smacked face into a trailer. >> something was watching over her. because she -- a centimeter more would have been a head-on collision with that truck. surveillance video from a government building in a part of sao poolo brazil turns scary quickly. this is at the national institute of security and you see the guy walk through the front door. and those are flames. he's got some sort of monthloto

cocktail. people are scurrying. he sees officials try to take this guy down, but this guy doesn't care. watch this. he throws one molotov cocktail behind and that catches on fire, throws another one and a fire starts in front of the counter. eventually this guy is tackled to the ground. you see a number of officers come over and get on top of this guy. apparently, this man was upset because his request was denied by i guess the national institute of social security. so his response, come in there and light the place on fire. >> he's obviously sick in the head to do something like this. i mean, to harm people that had nothing to do with the fact that his claim was denied. >> police did come and arrest the man. turns out the 39 years old, they took him to a psychiatric hospital to be evaluated. but get this. police also found 12 other

4:07 pm
>> oh! >> and they make it across unscathed. >> definitely must have been terrified. >> when you look, those duck moms, right when she passes the first lane of traffic, she looks back, kind of like this is a bad idea, we should go ba and she's like all right, let's just get it over with, keep going. >> where were they trying to get? i'm sure this side of the highway was fine. >> but the other side seems so much better. >> nice over there. >> the grass really is greener on the other side. that's no ordinary bar stool right there. >> that's not going to smell good. >> all that water that has that fish poop in it. >> see what caused the great casino flood, next. first, we showed you the video of the diver who goes with seals. now we've got questions for him.
