Man shot in robbery turns from hero to prisoner
A Brazilian waiter who was shot in the leg trying to prevent a street robbery turned out to be a convicted robber on the run and was arrested, police said Friday. "What started as an apparent altruistic act had a quite unexpected finish. The waiter, considered until then a hero, turned out to be a convicted runaway," a police spokeswoman said. The man's behavior while in the hospital where he was treated for his wound prompted detectives to check his record. They found a 1996 arrest warrant for him and took him to prison, where he must serve a seven-year sentence. Police were checking testimony of the victim of Wednesday's robbery to see if the man had really protected her from assailants or was taking part of the robbery.
搶劫案中槍男子英雄變囚犯
上周五警方稱,一起在街頭搶劫中見(jiàn)義勇為而腿部中彈的一名巴西招待證明是負(fù)罪在逃犯,并且已被逮捕。警方發(fā)言人說(shuō):“原本看起來(lái)是一次利他主義的行為結(jié)果卻大大出乎人們的意料。在此之前他被看作是一個(gè)英雄,可是結(jié)果居然是在逃犯”。該男子在醫(yī)院療傷時(shí)的行為促使探員們?nèi)ゲ榱怂穆臍v,發(fā)現(xiàn)一份針對(duì)此人的逮捕狀,于是將其送進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。他要在里面服滿7年徒刑。警方正在查看上周三劫案受害者的證言,以便弄清那名男子的確保護(hù)她免受襲擊,還是他本人當(dāng)時(shí)也在實(shí)施搶劫。
