Speeding SUV Crash in Bhopal; Man Stabbed in Loot Attempt
In the city of Bhopal in India, two bad things happened.
First, a very fast SUV crashed into two parked auto-rickshaws and then slammed into a restaurant.
This happened very early on Wednesday morning at 2:30 in the night.
The crash broke the restaurant's main shutter and a pillar, causing a lot of damage.
The people in the SUV ran away, and the police are now looking for them.
The restaurant owner was afraid the building might fall down, so he didn't go inside right away.
In another bad event on Tuesday evening, a 30-year-old man named Manish Pawar was stabbed by two strangers while riding home from a picnic.
Police think the attackers wanted to rob him.
He was badly hurt and taken to a hospital, and police registered cases in both incidents and are searching for the people responsible.
