Man stabbed while testing knife-proof vest
27 Feb 11
thelocal.se
Two drunken men decided to test a knife-proof vest at a party in southern Sweden late Saturday night. While the first test was a success, the second blow resulted in injury. One of the men involved, who is reportedly in his 20s, was taken to the hospital after being stabbed.
The incident occurred after the two somewhat boozed men decided to test a newly purchased piece of armor, reported Sveriges Radio (SR). According to reports, the two men involved were at the same party in Vittsjö, north of Hässleholm, when they began to discuss the man’s new protective vest. By then, the men had “drunk a lot,” said police. Having decided to test the protective vest, one of the men took a knife and stabbed it. The vest worked. When he repeated the test, he goofed and missed the man’s vest, striking him where he was not protected.
It is unclear where the wounded man was stabbed. He was taken to the hospital and treated for minor injury. The incident occurred just before midnight on Saturday night. |

Mobility scooter owner banned from driving after crashing into shop window
26 Jul 2012
Able-bodied Darren Wells, 37, paid £50 for the vehicle because he couldn't afford to run a car, magistrates at Croydon, south London, heard. But when he took the scooter to a shop near his home, he accidentally put it into reverse rather than forward.
Wells, an alcoholic, had been at a friend's funeral wake the night before and had woken up a little worse for wear. He told the court that he decided rather than walk to the shop, he would take the mobility scooter. Wells, of Wallington, said: "I thought it would be faster to take the scooter. It wasn't." Asked what speed the scooter was capable of, Wells told the court: "Well it ain't ready for the Grand Prix yet."
Wells arrived at the shop, but after mistaking the reverse gear for the forward gear, he ploughed into the shop's window. He told the court: "I offered to pay him there and then, but he said he needed a crime reference number for his insurance. So I got nicked."
The case hinged on whether or not a mobility scooter was classed as mechanically propelled under the Road Traffic Act, and if Wells qualified for one under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act. Wells had only bought the scooter from a friend for £50 because he "couldn't afford to maintain a car," he court heard
Father-of-three Wells faced jail after breaching a 12-month suspended sentence for assaulting a police officer, but magistrates said it "would not be in his interest to send him to prison." Chairwoman of the bench, Mrs Angela Glancy, told Wells: "We are satisfied the scooter was not being used in accordance with legislation. If you are caught driving, including the mobility scooter, you will go to prison."
Wells has been disqualified from driving for 17 months provided he undertakes a drink driving awareness programme as well as being ordered to pay £200 in compensation to the shop owner on top of a £150 fine, £50 in costs and a £15 victim surcharge. At an earlier hearing Wells pleaded guilty to criminal damage for the window for which he was fined £110.
