San Francisco ( Arson suspect wanted- Attempted murder on girlfriend )

A woman in San Francisco's Bayview district was hospitalized with life-threatening burns Sunday after police say a man she had been dating threw flammable liquid on her.
Officers responded to reports of a woman screaming near the intersection of Hollister Avenue and Jennings Street around 12:17 p.m. Sunday and found a woman in her early 20s who had been severely burned. The woman, whose identity was withheld by police, was rushed to the burn unit of St. Francis Memorial Hospital for treatment.


Police identified her attacker as Dexter Oliver, 22.
Oliver and the woman had been dating, police say. Although police did not offer a motive for the attack, they accused Oliver of throwing some kind of ignitable liquid onto her.
Oliver remains at large. Police described him as black, approximately 5 feet, 10 inches in height, weighing 155 pounds, and said he was last seen wearing a red-and-white hoodie jacket, gray-and-red Nike shoes and pajama pants decorated with multicolored shamrocks. Oliver also reportedly has a haircut with a fish design on one side of his head and a lightning bolt on the other.
Oliver is wanted on suspicion of attempted murder and arson, according to a San Francisco Police Department news release. Anyone who comes in contact with Oliver is asked to call the police.

Amid protests by lawyers, a district court hearing the Delhi gang-rape case today directed the media and the public to leave the courtroom, ordering in-camera proceedings in case.
Describing the situation in the courtroom as ‘unprecedented’, metropolitan magistrate Namrita Aggarwal ordered that further printing and publishing of information without the permission of the court would “not be lawful”.
Strongly objecting to the overcrowding of the courtroom, the judge said, “The courtroom has become jam-packed with a lot of disturbances created from different nooks and corners. The persons assembled and present inside the courtroom not connected with the case have been repeatedly asked to wait outside with no effect.”

The judge went on to add that it had “become impossible for the court proceedings to carry on”.
The judge said that the accused had been brought from Tihar Jail to be produced before the court but had been informed by the lock-up in charge that given the crowd inside the courtroom he was “unable to bring the accused for want of safe passage.”
The judge said that the public prosecutor had also expressed “apprehensions regarding safety of under-trial prisoners”.
Granting the public prosecutor’s request to initiate in-camera proceedings in the case, the judge said: “All public persons and everybody present in the courtroom except the accused and the public prosecutor is directed to vacate the courtroom. I’m also invoking 327(2)(iii) of the criminal procedure code (Cr PC) under which it shall not be lawful to print or publish any matter except with permission of the court.”
The order was passed by the judge in the post-lunch session after a ruckus set off by an emotionally-charged group of lawyers prevented the scheduled appearance of the five accused at 12.30 pm in open court.
The commotion began when a lawyer began a tirade against another lawyer M L Sharma who said he was approached by the family of one of the accused to represent them. He was also shouted at by women lawyers who had gathered in the courtroom.
Appeals by the Delhi Police refused to calm the lawyers down and the commotion continued even after the judge arrived at 12.30 pm.
The judge’s warning that she would not call the accused to appear before the court till the lawyers cleared the way for the accused went unheeded to. Meanwhile, two lawyers told the judge that they wanted to represent the accused and were directed by her to first meet the accused in Tihar Jail and get their consent before approaching the court again.
The commotion in courtroom, however, continued and the judge went back to her chamber. When she returned at 2 pm, it was to pass the order invoking in-camera proceedings.
In the intervening time, another heated argument broke out between two lawyers, who came close to blows before the police and other lawyers intervened.

ICELAND Air ( Drunk man on plane was Duct taped to chair-Until the police arrived )

Raging Airplane Passenger Duct Taped to Seat (ABC News)

The pitfalls of apparently mixing alcohol and air travel were taken to a new level when an evidently intoxicated man was constrained to his seat with duct tape on an international flight.

Iceland Air said the man went on a rampage on a New Year's Eve flight from Reykjavik to New York, hitting, screaming at and spitting on other passengers.

Passengers took matter into their own hands, taping the man to his seat.

Andy Ellwood, who was on board the flight, snapped a picture of the disruptive passenger and wrote on his blog that the man became unruly after drinking all of the duty-free liquor on board.

"He was restrained by passengers and crew and was monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight," Iceland Air said in a statement to ABC News.

The man, who has not been identified, was taken by police to an area hospital where he was treated for alcohol poisoning. Port Authority police wouldn't confirm that the man in the picture was the person they took into custody, but said he had not been charged.
