WTAE - A man riding a scooter is accused of attacking the wife of a Pittsburgh Pirates player. According to a criminal complaint, Subhash Modhwadia, 44, of Scott Township, followed the wife of Pittsburgh Pirates catcher Chris Snyder into a BP gas station on Banksville Road in Banksville after he said the two almost collided. Police said Modhwadianot then not only attacked Carla Snyder, but also the Good Samaritan who tried to help and a police officer. "He's kicking the doors, kicking the mirrors. And I'm like, 'Is this really happening?'" said Joe Changle, the first person who stopped to help. Police said Modhwadia threw the scooter in front of her car, started kicking it and yelling, "You almost hit me." When she got out of the vehicle, he broke off her driver's side mirror and started swinging at her, police said in the criminal complaint. "She wasn't really crying, but she was scared, which is understandable. She yelled for help, I just came," said the 22-year-old Changle. "He swung at me a couple of times. I told him, 'Don't do it again, or I'm going to put you down.' And he came over again. I just tripped him up, put him on the ground and held him down." While Changle tried to subdue the suspect, police said Modhwadia bit him in the arm. An off-duty Pittsburgh police officer happened to be driving by and stepped in to help and that's when, police said, Modhwadia began throwing punches with a key between his fingers. The criminal complaint says Modhwadia then took off his shoe and threw it at the officer. "He took off his shoe and threw it. Another guy came over and said he was an off-duty cop. He picked him up threw him in the weeds. The (suspect) came back up again. Then the police came and he took his shoe off and threw it at the cop and hit the cop with his shoe," said witness Chuck Crooks. During the entire incident, the Snyder family's two children were in the back seat of the car. Chris Snyder was able to get out of the car, but because of recent back surgery, related to an injury suffered during a recent game, he couldn't move to help his wife, witnesses said. A witness told Channel 4 Action News' Amber Nicotra it was Chris Snyder's first day out of his home since the surgery...

Wow, how much does it suck to be Chris Snyder?  You just had back surgery to start with and now you have to stand by as your wife is assaulted.  Strike one, strike two.  But you know what's worse?  You play for the Pittsburgh Pirates!  Quite possibly the worst franchise in the history of Major League Baseball.  Sorry Chris, three strikes and you're out.

NAPLES NEWS - Punches aren’t the only thing a Bonita Springs woman is accused of throwing early Monday morning. Deputies say she also threw pancakes at men in a McDonald's parking lot. Mariel G. Goodrich, 21, of the 8800 block of Colonnades Court, was arrested Monday by Collier deputies at the 700 block of Vanderbilt Beach Road. According to a Collier County Sheriff’s Office report: While a few unidentified men were purchasing food from a McDonald's drive-through around 5 a.m., they began a conversation with Goodrich and her friend who were sitting in a gray Honda Ridgeline truck. Goodrich then threw her pancakes out the car window toward them and extended her middle finger in their direction. One of the men got out of the vehicle and approached her with his camera phone recording. He began to make jokes in reference to her throwing the pancakes -- saying the girls needed a lawyer to make some money because the pancakes were so bad they had to throw them out. Goodrich then exited the car and began attacking the man, striking him in the face. She then retreated to the car and attempted to drive away but the man began to yell out the tag number of the truck to his friends. Goodrich then came back for a second time, striking him in the face once again. The girls claimed that the fight started because the men offered them money for oral sex, but they were not aware that the incident was recorded on the man’s camera phone. Goodrich was arrested on a battery charge.

It's stuff like this that gives bat-shit crazy chicks a bad name - and I'm not even talkin' about the pancakes.  It's the whole BJ defense.  Like this chick just figured she'd play the blowjob card and be free as a bird within ten minutes.  "Officer, these dudes wanted oral sex and I was just defending myself."  Sorry honey, but you forgot the whole scene was bein' recorded.  Now you can enjoy gettin' fingerblasted by some prison dyke who's twice your size and strong as a bull.  I wonder if the food in the graybar hotel is worse than the pancakes....

During Friday's celebration in Cairo's Tahrir Square, CBC News and 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan got separated from her camera crew and was beaten and sexually assaulted by protesters. The attack reportedly happened moments after the photo in this post was taken.

"A dangerous element" in the crowd surrounded Logan and her crew, said CBS spokesman Kevin Tedesco. "It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into a frenzy. In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew," he said in a statement Tuesday. "She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers." Logan went home to the United States on the first flight Saturday and is recovering in a hospital, Tedesco said. CBS, where Logan is chief foreign correspondent, said there would be no further comment about the attack and Logan asked for privacy. At least 140 reporters have been injured or killed covering Egypt since Jan. 30, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

Logan and her camera crew had been held at gunpoint by Mubarak's security forces on February 2nd, after which they were ejected from the country. Yet she returned last week to continue covering the revolution.
