Man Jumps Off 4-Story Building And Impales Himself On Spiked Wrought-Iron Fence
LOS ANGELES (CBS) — Police say a man who jumped from a four-story parking structure impaled himself on a wrought-iron fence Saturday in Lincoln Heights.
Authorities said about an hour before the unidentified man jumped, they had shooed him out of the parking structure.
The man reportedly impaled himself in the midsection.
Firefighters cut away the section of fence the man was impaled on and took him and part of the fence to a hospital after the roughly 3:40 a.m. jump, a witness told a videographer who arrived after the man was taken away.
The incident occurred at 1143 Mission Road, according to Los Angeles police Lt. Richard Thomas of the Hollenbeck Station.
The fencing was atop a roughly 6-foot wall, Thomas said.
The man was reported in critical condition Saturday afternoon.
Lunch lady slammed for food that is 'too good'
Annika Eriksson, a lunch lady at school in Falun, was told that her cooking is just too good.
Pupils at the school have become accustomed to feasting on newly baked bread and an assortment of 15 vegetables at lunchtime, but now the good times are over.
The municipality has ordered Eriksson to bring it down a notch since other schools do not receive the same calibre of food - and that is "unfair".
Moreover, the food on offer at the school doesn't comply with the directives of a local healthy diet scheme which was initiated in 2011, according to the municipality.
"A menu has been developed... It is about making a collective effort on quality, to improve school meals overall and to try and ensure everyone does the same," Katarina Lindberg, head of the unit responsible for the school diet scheme, told the local Falukuriren newspaper.

SPOKANE -- Police are investigating a stabbing that happened near Third and Wall in Downtown Spokane.
They found a man at an apartment complex on Wall around 9:20 p.m. Friday. They got a call that he had been stabbed in the buttocks. Police said the 51-year-old man went to the hospital with a four inch deep gash. Police said he lost a lot of blood and was going in and out of consciousness before an ambulance arrived.
The victim told police he was stabbed by a white man wearing all black. Police said they did find a man fitting that description and questioned him. However, police have not said if that is the suspect.
Police said they do believe the attack may have been a robbery because the victim said the suspect took his beer.
