Despite the mandatory sentence, Judge Ralph Van Pelt Jr., only sentenced the officer to two years in prison, saying that he was a first time offender and he did not use force with the victim.

Spider-Man seen on video punching police officers in New York

Police officers fighting with Spider-Man 
Spider-Man unleashed his super powers on police officers, who tried to arrest him, a video uploaded to the Internet showed.

The video showed how the Spider-Man and the police officer wrestled on a sidewalk of New York City, before being pinned to the ground.

The Spider-Man was identified as 25-year-old Junior Bishop of Brooklyn.

He was brought before a Manhattan Criminal Court judge on charges of assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, damage to others' property and disorderly conduct.

He was held on $3,500 bail. The altercation began on Saturday at 2:00 p.m., in the tourist area of 42nd Street and Broadway.

The Spider-Man posed for a picture with another man and a woman, who offered him $1. The Spider-Man refused to accept the bill, saying that he only accepts large donations.

That is when police officer Eduardo Molina, told the woman that she could give any amount of money she wanted. “Mind your own business,” Spider-Man told the officer.

The officer asked for his identification. Bishop said that he had none. “The defendant took a fighting stance, in which he raised his arms in front of him and clenched his fists,” the officer said.

Molina was treated at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Bishop had been arrested at least one time before for aggressively demanding money from tourists while dressed as a cartoon character.

He took the dog to the vet for emergency surgery. The surgery would have cost him $1,700 to recover the $850 watch. However, when his dog saw the anesthetic needle it coughed up the watch in fear.

12-year-old dies after being sucked into drain pipe in swimming pool

The drain pipe 
A family’s vacation ended in tragedy after their 12-year-old boy’s body was found inside a drain pipe.
Tain Tseng went missing while playing at a waterpark during the vacation with his family in China.

Tseng was playing in the pool of the waterpark, which is owned by the Qinglong Hot Spring Hotel in Xi'an, when he suddenly disappeared.

The family was enjoying the last day of their vacation when their son went missing.

His 43-year-old father, Kung, said that when he realized that his son was not in the pool he instantly suspected the worst. Kung immediately told the staff that he thought his son was sucked into the big hole where the drain pipe was located, but the staff members insisted that it was impossible.

However, after the boy was not found, staff members searched and found the child's body inside the pipe. They had to drain the pool in order to access the two meter deep pipe.

The pool will remain closed while an investigation is being conducted.

Li Yadong, a lawyer representing the hotel, said that the waterpark had opened almost three months ago, and was still in a trial period when the tragedy happened.

The hotel offered money to the family, but would not disclose the details of the agreement.
