Insane Videos

A California store clerk tried to stop an alleged shoplifter, but ended up in the emergency room with burns covering his body after he was set ablaze by the suspected thief.

The clerk, Suraj, was working with his coworker in Appian Food and Liquor in El Sobrante September 22, when Kendall Burton came in and allegedly stole lighter fluid for the third time that day.

The coworker saw the theft and notified Suraj, who went to confront Burton ... and all hell broke loss.

Newly released surveillance video shows Suraj violently struggling with Burton, while his coworker retrieves a baseball bat from somewhere inside the store.

During the tussle, Burton pours the accelerant over Suraj's head and lights him on fire.

Before the video cuts off, Suraj is seen frantically running to the bathroom to extinguish the flames by dousing himself with water.

Suraj was rushed to a local hospital and treated for serious burns over his face, neck, chest and shoulder.

From his hospital bed, Suraj told CBS Bay Area that no one should be subject to such dangers and called for more security in the workplace. He also said he has a long road to recovery and needs several surgeries to repair the extensive damage.

His wife has set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for his rising medical costs.

¡U2 se abalanzó sobre Las Vegas para el primer show de su residencia de tres meses, y la experiencia no solo fue electrizante, fue, literalmente, fuera de este mundo!

La icónica banda de rock irlandesa comenzó su concierto el viernes por la noche para su "U2: UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere", dentro de una monstruosa estructura similar a un planeta de 516 pies de ancho y 366 pies de alto, y con una extensión de casi dos manzanas de la ciudad.

Aún más llamativo fue el impresionante espectáculo de láser, que combinaba luces de neón blancas y azules rodeadas de torres de pantallas de televisión que proyectaban imágenes del grupo sobre el escenario. En un momento, se proyectó un video de Elvis Presley, con antiguas imágenes de Las Vegas y los miembros de U2 envueltos en burbujas.

Por supuesto, el recinto estaba abarrotado con más de 17.000 fans. Todos disfrutaron de los éxitos del legendario vocalista, Bono, el guitarrista The Edge, junto con el bajista Adam Clayton y el batería Bram van den Berg, quien sustituyó al enfermo Larry Mullen.

El cuarteto interpretó algunos de sus temas más conocidos, como "The Fly", "Angel of Harlem", "Desire", "One", "Mysterious Ways" y "Atomic Punk". Ataviado con sus características gafas de sol, Bono se mostró de una forma inusual, dando vueltas alrededor de su micrófono mientras entonaba las letras.

U2 swooped down into Las Vegas for the first show of their three-month residency ... and the experience was not only electrifying, but it was literally out of this world!!!

The iconic Irish rock band kicked off Friday night's concert for their "U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere" performance inside a monstrous planet-like structure that is 516 feet wide and 366 feet tall -- and consumes nearly two city blocks.

Even more eye-popping was the stunning laser show, combining streams of white and blue neon lights surrounded by walls of flat screen TVs flashing images of the group onstage. At one point, a video of Elvis Presley was streamed with vintage snapshots of Las Vegas and the U2 members ensconced in bubbles.

Of course, the venue was packed with 17,000-plus fans. They were all treated to a slew of hits compliments of U2's legendary singer, Bono, and guitarist, The Edge, along with bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Bram van den Berg, who took over for the ailing Larry Mullen.

The foursome cranked out some of their most recognizable tunes including "The Fly," "Angel of Harlem," "Desire," "One," "Mysterious Ways" and "Atomic Punk." Wearing his signature sunglasses, Bono was in rare form, dipping and twirling around his microphone stand while belting out his lyrics.

The starry guest list was extensive too, BTW -- big names like Paul McCartney, Adam Scott, Snoop Dogg, Ava DuVernay, Matt Damon, Bryan Cranston, Chelsea Clinton, Chris Blackwell, Mario Lopez, Dakota Fanning, Darren Aronofsky, Diplo, Dr. Dre, Elizabeth Banks, Flava Flav, Gayle King, Guy Oseary, Neil Patrick Harris, Jane Buffet, Jane Seymour, Jason Bateman, Jeff Bezos, Jimmy Iovine, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Hamm, Josh Duhamel, Katy Perry, Lebron James, Luke Wilson, Oprah, Orlando Bloom and Oscar De La Hoya, just to name a few.

A Michigan teacher had a harrowing experience in school this week ... she was knocked unconscious by a metal chair throwing student.

The terrifying incident was captured on video Thursday afternoon in a classroom at Southwestern Classical Academy in Flint.

Check out the clip ... the instructor is standing in front of her class as one of the students yells at her from the side of the room.

It's not clear what the beef is about ... but, at some point, the student picks up the chair and throws it at the teacher, who gets clobbered in the head with it and drops like a sack of potatoes to the floor.

What's worse ... another student is heard cheering as the teacher lays unconscious.

The woman was eventually rushed to a hospital, where she was treated for non-life-threatening injuries and released.

Southwestern Academy Superintendent Kevelin Jones wrote a letter to parents informing them about the attack, which was described as a "physical altercation between two scholars" that led to the teacher getting hurt.

In the letter, Jones did not indicate whether the unruly student was arrested by police and/or punished by the school.

Un león marino en el zoológico del Central Park hizo un gran escape en medio de las inundaciones en Nueva York, nadando fuera de su recinto gracias a la subida de las aguas.

El video muestra al león marino al otro lado del recinto, nadando en aguas marrones, lo suficientemente altas como para que pudiera salir de la piscina.

Hay otros dos leones marinos nadando alegremente alrededor del recinto, pero uno fue capaz de llegar por encima de la valla. En el video lo vemos relajándose en un lugar normalmente reservado para los seres humanos, al menos cuando no está todo inundado.

Como referencia, así es como se ve normalmente la exhibición de leones marinos. La piscina no es tan grande y el mamífero que se escapó está bastante cerca de una carpa que conduce a otra área del zoológico.

El león marino no se escapó completamente, pero sí se salió de su hábitat y presumiblemente tuvo mucha curiosidad sobre lo que hay más allá de su pequeña piscina.

Como saben, fuertes lluvias están golpeando la Gran Manzana, con inundaciones extremas en toda la ciudad.

El zoológico del Central Park estuvo cerrado al público el viernes debido a las severas condiciones climáticas y los leones marinos parecen estar disfrutando al máximo el día.

A sea lion at the Central Park Zoo made a great escape amid all the flooding in New York City ... swimming out of its enclosure thanks to rising waters.

Video shows the sea lion on the other side of the exhibit, swimming around in brown water ... which was high enough for the animal to get out of the pool.

There are two other sea lions happily swimming around the enclosure, but one was able to make it over the fence ... with the marine mammal is chilling in a spot normally reserved for humans, at least when it's not underwater.

For reference, here's how the sea lion exhibit usually looks ... as you can see, the pool isn't that big, and the escaped sea lion is pretty close to a tent that leads to another area of the zoo.

The sea lion didn't escape the zoo completely ... but she did get out of their habitat, and she's obviously pretty curious about what lies beyond her little pool.

As you know ... heavy rain is pounding the Big Apple and there's extreme flooding throughout the city.

The Central Park Zoo was closed to the public Friday as a result of the severe weather conditions, and the sea lions seem to be making the most of a rainy day.

Strange time for a nap ... Alex Jones literally went to sleep while appearing as a guest on Craig Jones' (no relation!) show on Thursday after the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champ sent the controversial host to La La Land with a super tight rear-naked choke! 😴

49-year-old Jones' was appearing on Craig's "El Segundo Podcast" when the IBJJF world champ got to live out the real-life fantasy of many of Alex's opponents, literally putting the Infowars host to sleep square in his chair on set.

It's unclear what led up to the submission (Alex was clearly down with it) ... and given Craig's one of the best in the world when it comes to strangling people (he coaches Alex Volkanovski and Israel Adesanya), it didn't take him long.

Craig posted video of the incident ... and had some fun with the caption, writing, "The CIA sent me but I couldn’t do my dad like that"

Again, no father-son relation here.

The clip starts with the choke already in deep. After about 8 seconds of pressure, Jones' eyes rolled back, and he was out cold.

Almost 10 seconds later, Alex finally wakes up ... but clearly had no idea what the hell just happened -- common among people who have been choked out.

"What? What'd I just do?" Alex asked, looking around.

Presumably, Craig will drop more videos with Alex when the pod episode debuts.

Una niña de 3 años se disparó con una pistola en una casa en Florida. El horrible incidente fue grabado en vídeo.

La niña, llamada Serenity, estaba jugando en el salón de la casa de su abuela en Miami el pasado sábado cuando saltó al sofá cerca del arma de fuego cargada.

Échale un vistazo a este material recién publicado que muestra Serenity agarrando la pistola con la mano y mirando a un pariente, Orlando Young, que está preocupado viendo un partido de fútbol.

De repente, el arma se dispara y Serenity recibe un impacto en el brazo, gritando de dolor.

Young levanta la vista, totalmente aturdido y corre hacia Serenity para comprobar su herida y prestarle ayuda. Otras personas entran en la habitación mientras se desata el caos.

Young indica a otra persona que traiga un cinturón para envolver la herida de bala y detener la hemorragia. A continuación, escolta a Serenity fuera de la sala de estar, pero pronto regresa para recuperar su arma del sofá antes de que el vídeo se corte.

Serenity fue finalmente trasladada a un hospital donde fue operada. Fue dada de alta el martes y ahora se recupera en casa.

A 3-year-old girl shot herself with an unattended gun in a Florida home, and the horrific incident was caught on video.

The young girl, named Serenity, was playing in the living room at her grandma's Miami-Dade abode last Saturday when she jumped onto the couch near the loaded firearm sitting in plain view.

Check out this newly released footage ... which shows Serenity grabbing the pistol with her hand and peering over at a relative, Orlando Young, who is preoccupied watching a football game on his laptop.

Suddenly, the gun discharges and Serenity is hit in her arm, crying out in pain.

Young looks up, totally stunned, and rushes over to Serenity to check out her injury and give her assistance. Other people dash into the room as total chaos ensues.

Young directs another person to get a belt to wrap around the bullet wound to stop the bleeding. He then escorts Serenity out of the living room, but soon returns to retrieve his gun from the couch before the video cuts off.

Serenity was eventually taken to a hospital, where she underwent surgery. She was released Tuesday and is now recovering at home.

Charlie Puth is picking up the street performer who was left to pick up his piano when a woman smashed it to the ground ... offering words of encouragement and a special invite.

The "We Don't Talk Anymore" singer reached out to Andrew Hsu, the Georgia street performer from a recent viral video, messaging him over the incident.

TMZ obtained the DMs Charlie and Andrew exchanged ... with Charlie telling Andrew, "I'm sorry that bull s*** happened to you ... Don't let it ever discourage you from performing, I know it won't ... But that video just upset me so much. You're a wonderful player and I wish you nothing but success and constant musical inspiration."

Andrew thanks Charlie for the kind words, tells him he's not going to give up performing, shares how he went to Charlie's show in Georgia and says he hopes to meet him and Billy Joel.

As we reported ... video shows Andrew playing Billy's anthem, "Piano Man," in Athens, GA when a rude woman comes up and smashes his piano to the ground. Andrew also accused her of stealing from his tip jar, and she eventually apologized after tons of backlash.

Charlie says he can't really set Andrew up with Billy, who apparently doesn't have a cell phone, but he says he would love for Andrew to come to one of his future shows.

Andrew tells TMZ ... since the video went viral, tons of folks requested to donate to a new piano ... and he put his Venmo on social media and got $2,000 in just two days, earmarking the money for a new keyboard and keyboard stand.

So, it seems like this story has a happy ending for Athens' piano man.

Charlie Puth está apoyando al artista callejero que tuvo que recoger su piano cuando una mujer lo lanzó contra el suelo, ofreciéndole palabras de aliento y una invitación especial.

El cantante de "We Don't Talk Anymore" se acercó a Andrew Hsu, el artista callejero de Georgia protagonista de un reciente video viral y le envió un mensaje sobre el incidente.

TMZ obtuvo el DMs entre Charlie y Andrew, en donde Charlie le dice: "Siento mucho que esa m*** te pasara. No dejes que nada te desanime a actuar, sé que no pasará, pero el video me disgustó mucho. Eres un músico maravilloso y solo te deseo éxito e inspiración musical constante".

Andrew agradeció a Charlie por sus amables palabras y le dijo que no iba a renunciar a sus actuaciones en la calle. También le contó de cuando fue a uno de sus shows en Georgia y le dijo que espera reunirse con él y Billy Joel.

Como informamos, el video muestra a Andrew tocando una canción de Billy Joel en la calle en Atenas, Georgia, cuando una mujer grosera se acerca y bota su piano al suelo. Andrew también la acusó de robarse su tarro de propinas, y eventualmente ella se disculpó después de recibir toneladas de reacciones en su contra.

Charlie dice que realmente no puede organizar un encuentro entre Andrew y Billy, quien aparentemente no tiene teléfono celular, pero dice que le encantaría que Andrew viniera a uno de sus shows la próxima vez que esté en EE.UU..

Andrew le dice a TMZ que desde que el video se hizo viral, toneladas de personas se ofrecieron a donar dinero para un nuevo piano. Él puso su Venmo en las redes sociales y consiguió $2,000 en solo dos días, suma que destinará para un nuevo teclado y soporte.

Two teens stole an SUV and went for a joyride in Florida, but they got into a wild, high-speed police chase and ended up under arrest.

Sunday's dramatic pursuit was captured on aerial footage from a police helicopter as marked vehicles followed the juveniles in a red Toyota along the Tampa freeways, going at dangerous speeds. Earlier that day, the suspects had stolen the vehicle, which was left unlocked with the engine running in a driveway.

In the footage, the helicopter cop talks over the radio with another officer, confirming the color of the SUV and that it's traveling in the left lane.

The video then jumps to another highway, where police cruisers surround the Toyota and try to corral it.

But, the SUV drives off the road and onto a grassy embankment, managing to escape, though it's only for the moment.

While continuing its pursuit, one cop car performs an approved police maneuver called PIT, plowing into the Toyota, which spins around and comes to a stop on the thoroughfare.  (PIT stands for precision immobilization technique, which is used as a tool to end police chases.)

Deputies exit their vehicles and point their guns at the teens, ordering them out of the SUV.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said they arrested the 15-year-old driver who was charged with aggravated battery on law enforcement deadly weapon, grand theft motor vehicle and fleeing to elude high speed. The 14-year-old passenger was charged with grand theft auto.

Dos adolescentes robaron un todoterreno y fueron a dar una vuelta por Florida, pero se vieron envueltos en una persecución policial y acabaron detenidos.

La dramática persecución del domingo fue captada en imágenes aéreas desde un helicóptero de la policía mientras vehículos señalizados seguían a los menores en un Toyota rojo por las autopistas de Tampa a velocidades peligrosas. Los sospechosos habían robado el vehículo ese mismo día. Lo dejaron abierto con el motor en marcha en una entrada.

En las imágenes, el helicóptero policial se comunica por radio con otro oficial, confirmando el color del carro que está viajando en el carril izquierdo.

El video salta entonces a otra carretera, donde patrullas de policía rodean el Toyota y tratan de acorralarlo.

Pero el sospechoso se sale de la carretera y llega a un terraplén cubierto de hierba logrando escapar, aunque sólo por un momento.

Mientras continúa la persecución, un carro de policía realiza una maniobra policial aprobada llamada PIT, arrollando al Toyota que gira y se detiene en la vía pública.  (PIT son las siglas en inglés de técnica de inmovilización de precisión, que se utiliza como herramienta para poner fin a las persecuciones policiales).

Los agentes salen de sus vehículos y apuntan con sus armas a los adolescentes, ordenándoles que salgan del todoterreno.

La Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Hillsborough dijo que detuvieron al conductor de 15 años de edad, quien fue acusado de agresión con agravantes en aplicación de la ley arma mortal, robo de vehículo de motor y huir a alta velocidad. El pasajero de 14 años de edad fue acusado por el robo del carro.

When Beyoncé says, "Everybody on mute," you better keep quiet ... or else ya might end up like this concertgoer who got whacked for ruining the viral "mute challenge."

The clip appears to be from Bey's Sunday night concert in Houston, and shows the repercussions for someone in the crowd who just couldn't pipe down during the popular moment of her song, "Energy."

For those unaware, concert venues have usually gone dead silent as the singer goes, "Look around everybody on mute." The strict silence has been a growing trend throughout her world tour, and the BeyHive has gotten pretty good at it.

They've also become very vigilant of rowdy fan's like this guy, and he ended up getting hit while chomping on some popcorn! Looks like he laughed it off, so it's not clear if they know each other, but the woman who struck him added a "Shut the f**k up" ... so he'd know she meant it.

FYI, fans online haven't been that thrilled with the noisy dude either ... as one person put it, "When the queen says stfu you stfu."

As you can imagine, it's gotta be impossible to get stadiums fully quiet, so some are still going to screw it up and disregard the social media trend.

But most are doing the challenge justice ... even this fan who was quick to stop themself from doin' everyone else dirty!

Cuando Beyoncé dice: "Todo el mundo en silencio", es mejor hacerle caso, de lo contrario puedes terminar como este fanático que fue golpeado por arruinar el desafío.

El clip parece ser del concierto de Bey el domingo por la noche en Houston, y muestra las repercusiones para un hombre en la multitud que simplemente no pudo callarse durante el popular momento de su canción "Energy."

Para los que no saben, en los conciertos suele haber un silencio sepulcral mientras la cantante dice: "Mira a tu alrededor todo el mundo en silencio". El silencio estricto ha sido una tendencia creciente a lo largo de su gira mundial, y a la BeyHive se le ha dado bastante bien.

También se han vuelto muy vigilantes con los fans alborotadores, como este en particular, que terminó recibiendo un golpe mientras comía palomitas (o pop corn). Parece que él se lo tomó para la risa, así que no está claro si se conocían, pero la mujer que lo golpeó añadió un "cállate la puta boca", para que él supiera que lo decía en serio.

Para su información, a los fans de Internet tampoco les ha gustado la actuación del fan, porque como una persona dijo: "Cuando la reina dice silencio es silencio".

Como se pueden imaginar, es casi imposible lograr que los estadios se silencien por completo, así que algunos siguen metiendo la pata y haciendo caso omiso a la tendencia de las redes sociales.

Pero la mayoría está haciendo justicia al desafío, ¡incluso este fan que se apresuró en dejar de arruinar la fiesta para todos!

Alabama State's Jacob Freeman punched a security guard in the face during Saturday's Florida A&M game, an attack that was caught on video ... and now the wide receiver has been arrested.

The altercation started when Freeman, number 16, lost his cool with a fan on the sidelines ... and seemingly attempted to get to the person. Security attempted to step in and stop JF, which evidently angered the Alabama State player.

That's when Freeman, helmet still on, threw a quick right, landing square on the guard's face, who immediately clutched the area that had been punched.

On Sunday, Freeman was arrested by the FAMU Police Department, according to the Leon County Sheriff's Office. Freeman was charged with one count of "battery causing bodily harm".

Freeman took a mug shot and was eventually released from jail.

However, he won't be seeing a football field anytime soon ... Bama St. suspended him for his behavior.

"We do not condone the actions of the student-athlete, nor are the actions representative of the expectations set forth by the athletic department and our university," the athletics department said in a statement.

Hornets head coach Eddie Robinson Jr., during a SWAC coaches media call, said Freeman is remorseful, "but at the same time, he has to go through the process of his actions."
