This is the moment a $167 million Powerball jackpot winner was tased after kicking a Florida sheriff's deputy in the face. James Farthing of Georgetown, Kentucky, was reportedly involved in an altercation with another man at the Island Grand at Tradewinds on April 29. Body cam shows a Pinellas County deputy rushing to break up the fight. Farthing, 50, attempted to kick the other man, but kicked the deputy instead, police said. When deputies ordered Farthing to get on the ground, he tried to flee the scene. One deputy deployed their taser while the other tackled him to the ground, restraining him. Farthing, who won the jackpot on April 28, was charged with resisting an officer without violence, battery on a law enforcement officer, battery, and parole violation.

The robbers, sex attackers and handbag thieves running riot on lawless London's trains as Tube crime surges
Detectives are hunting for a series of robbers and attackers across London 's train network after a spate of violent incidents in recent weeks. British Transport Police have issued five appeals for suspects this week as they probe reports of crimes such as sexual assaults, bicycle theft and wallet robbery. Recent incidents in the capital have seen robbers try to grab shopping bags or handbags, or leave people with lasting injuries following violent incidents. It comes after commuters were accused of assaulting a man who dropped his trousers on a District line train near Upton Park in East London on August 7. BTP have interviewed two of the four vigilantes so far, while the man - who told them to 'f*** off' after requests to pull up his pants - was taken to hospital and sectioned under the Mental Health Act. No arrests have been made and the probe continues. Police want to identify the other two men brawling with the man, who was initially arrested by an off-duty officer when he refused to cover up then wielded his belt. During the incident the man began yelling then dropped his trousers and put his belt around his neck. His bottom and genitals were on show, sparking anger and revulsion around him on the train, which was busy with children on their summer holidays. A passenger stood up and quickly confronted him, gesticulating angrily. He politely and firmly told him: 'You need to get off the train.' But the man began repeatedly yelling back: 'F*** off.' The commuter said in response: 'What do you mean "f*** off"? You need to get off the f***ing train. Now. There are kids on here.' Footage of the incident showed up to four men kicking and punching the naked man, who was hitting them with his belt. He was later pinned to the floor of the carriage. The man was then unceremoniously carried on to the Tube platform at East Ham and dumped to the floor. He was then held down as the commuters tried to alert staff. Separately, a huge fight broke out at the entrance to Highbury and Islington station on July 17 - with a screaming toddler ending up on the floor in the melee. Members of the public attempted to intervene as the group appeared to hurl a man down the stairs at the North London hub and throw punches and kicks at him. Footage captured the chaos as a smartly-dressed man kicked the head of another in a grey tracksuit - as someone else threw a rucksack into the packed crowd. Commuters attempted to break up the fight and helped a mother and her baby in a buggy get out of the way, before bystanders rushed to pick up the child off the floor. Some 16,288 crimes were reported on the Underground network between January and August 2024 – a rise of 13 per cent on the same period the year before. Bond Street (Elizabeth line, Zone 1) A passenger was walking to the Elizabeth Line platforms at Bond Street late on a Sunday evening last month when a man grabbed her shopping bag. The woman pulled the bag back and kept hold of it, but he then tried to grab her handbag during the incident at around 10pm on July 13. She eventually managed to walk away with her belongings after other members of the public intervened – and detectives are now probing the attempted robbery. A photograph of a man walking along a station corridor has been issued by police because they believe 'may have information which could help their investigation'. BTP wants anyone who recognises the man to tell them with reference 391 of July 18. Canning Town (Jubilee line, Zone 2/3) A woman was sexually assaulted in a stairwell at Canning Town Underground station in East London on a Wednesday evening last month. Detectives are now investigating the crime at 6.20pm on July 30 at the Jubilee line station, which has an interchange with the Docklands Light Railway. They released a CCTV image in connection with the investigation, and believe the man in the picture 'may have information that could assist their enquiries'. Anyone who recognises him should contact BTP with reference 161 of July 31. Belsize Park (Northern line, Zone 2) An Underground passenger was assaulted on a station platform and suffered what police described as a 'lasting eye injury' in a shocking assault. Officers said the man was assaulted at the Grade II-listed Belsize Park station on the Northern line in North London just after 5pm on Saturday, June 19. They have now released a CCTV image in connection with the assault because the man in the picture 'may have information which could help their investigation'. Anyone who recognises him is asked to contact BTP with reference 514 of June 19. Elstree & Borehamwood (Thameslink, Zone 6) A 14-year-old boy was robbed of his bicycle on board a Thameslink train leaving Elstree and Borehamwood station in Hertfordshire heading into London. The teenager was approached by a man on a Friday afternoon last month who stole his bicycle on the train, which was travelling towards Mill Hill Broadway. Police do not know where the man left the train, but later the same evening he is believed to have been seen again exiting at Elstree and Borehamwood. Detectives issued a photograph of a man who 'may have information that could assist their enquiries' following the incident at about 4.45pm on Friday, July 11. Anyone who recognises him should contact BTP using reference 527 of July 11. Southend East (c2c, Essex) A man trying to buy a train ticket at a machine was robbed at knifepoint by a man and woman who approached him in the early hours of a Friday morning. One of the robbers at Southend East, a c2c station in Essex, had a knife in their hand and pushed the man to the floor, demanding his wallet. The man got up and tried to get away, but was punched and knocked to the floor during the incident in the seaside city on July 25 at about 4.30am. As the man got up, several items of jewellery, a bag of medication, and a jacket containing his mobile phone were taken. BTP investigating officer DC Nicola Avery said: 'We would like to speak to the two pictured as we believe they may have information that could help our investigation. 'While we appreciate the images may not show the clearest picture of the pair due to their face coverings, someone may recognise their clothing or notice something distinctive.' Southend East is on the c2c line between Shoeburyness and London Fenchurch Street and Liverpool Street stations, and is popular with commuters to the capital. Anyone who recognises either person in the images or has information about the robbery is asked to contact BTP, quoting reference 68 of July 25. Anyone who recognises anyone in the photos can text BTP via 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40. They can also contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111

Shock new twist after man was arrested in Sydney Airport gun horror
A man who allegedly tried to grab an Australian Federal Police officer's firearm during a dramatic arrest at Sydney Airport was re-arrested hours later. The man, 41, from Victoria was reportedly detained again by NSW Police officers at Central Station on Thursday, 2GB reported. NSW Police were contacted for further comment. The alleged incident came a day after AFP officers responded to a request for assistance from an airline about a man allegedly acting suspiciously at a check-in counter in the T2 domestic terminal early Wednesday. Two officers wrestled the man to the ground before the gun was accidentally fired during the struggle, with the bullet lodging in a wall 1m in a nearby airport cafe. Police later revealed the man had been told to leave the airport the previous day after another more minor incident. They added that it was very lucky that no one was hurt or killed during the incident. The man was filmed shouting expletives as officers pinned him to the floor. He was later charged with obstructing a Commonwealth official and creating a disturbance at an airport. The man was bailed to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on September 1. He is banned from entering the airport as part of his strict bail conditions. He faces a $3,300 fine and up to two years behind bars if convicted. AFP Acting Commander Scott Raven confirmed that the man was known to police. 'We had dealt with him yesterday in relation to a number of things about his behaviour and he left the airport,' he told reporters on Wednesday. 'Today his behaviour at the check-in counter was inconsistent with the way that we expect all members of the public to behave at a check-in counter. 'Not acting professionally, not acting respectfully, and also just acting in a way that led to their suspicion that the airline staff called us immediately 'I thank the airlines for doing that, and that was why we were able to act quite swiftly and actually apprehend this man.' Commander Raven added the man's alleged behaviour threatened the safety of the public, staff and police.
