[00:00:05] I will see you again. You are now watching News Station
[00:00:08] in the Central City.
[00:00:15] Welcome to the live news report. I am Yang Heng. I will immediately take you to
[00:00:19] the Taipei Xinyi District, where at the Dabai Department Store food court, a man
[00:00:23] used his bag to reserve a seat, which was then moved by another man who took the seat
[00:00:26] . The two got into a fight over the seat.
[00:01:32] He used his bag to reserve a seat and then left to buy something.
[00:04:00] The car lost control and swerved 90 degrees, instantly turning around and rushing against traffic on the road.
[00:04:03] The driver behind him slammed on the brakes in fear. This happened on National Highway No. 1, Taishan section. A netizen
[00:04:07] said this was the first time they saw a turtle swerve. In Taoyuan Zhengfu Street, a car
[00:04:11] entered. The red car driver entered the high-speed crossover turn, and the next second
[00:04:14] .
[00:04:17] Rushing wildly in the middle of the road, hitting a motorcyclist head-on. Suddenly, everything was spinning. Netizens
[00:04:21] angrily criticized, "He didn't use his turn signal, did he?"
[00:04:22] .
[00:06:42] He broke through the checkpoint in Qingshui District, knocking down the entire
[00:06:46] barrier and running from the police on the street, even ramming a police car. After
[00:06:50] being subdued, he continued to struggle with the police . Finally, it was discovered that he was driving without a license and under the influence
[00:06:53] . In New Taipei's Sanchong MRT station, a man damaged a bicycle while using a YouBike
[00:06:57] and was asked by the staff to compensate. He became so angry that he called the police
[00:07:01] . Unexpectedly, after the police arrived, he turned around and started arguing with the police
[00:07:05] again
[00:07:06] .
[00:07:10] Please pull over.
[00:07:15] The police honked their horn, asking the vehicle ahead to stop for inspection. Despite multiple
[00:07:19] broadcasts, the driver ignored them and continued to flee from the police, even crossing double yellow lines
[00:07:23] and driving against traffic to escape, and even grazing the police car . He continued to speed away, later found to be driving without a license
[00:07:26] and under the influence.
[00:08:45] We're here to resolve a dispute, not to argue, but the man continued to be emotionally out of control, and wouldn't listen . It turns out that this man went to the Sanchong station
[00:08:49] to find the staff because of a YouBike issue . However, because he was asked to
[00:08:52] pay compensation, he thought the other party was threatening him . They argued until the police were called, but the
[00:08:56] man still refused to cooperate when the police arrived, and instead started arguing with the police
[00:09:00] , leaving the police utterly helpless .
[00:09:04] Taitung has been battered by heavy rain for days . This morning, residents traveling on the Southern
[00:09:08] Link Highway encountered multiple road sections blocked by large amounts of water
[00:09:11] mixed with mud and rocks, which completely covered almost the entire
[00:09:14] lane. Even the downtown area was severely affected. In other news,
[00:09:18] this morning a house suddenly caught fire. The entire wooden
[00:09:22] structure was engulfed in flames. Residents were terrified, abandoning their cars
[00:09:25] and fleeing for their lives .
[00:09:28] Heavy rain hammered down, and the water was mixed with mud and rocks, rushing down like a waterfall
[00:09:32] . Piles of earth and rocks covered the entire lane
[00:09:35] .
[00:09:40] Mountain roads also turned into milky rivers, almost completely submerged by the mudslides. Early on the 31st, Taitung experienced continuous
[00:09:44] heavy rain overnight. Parts of the Daxiduo section of the road began to accumulate water and
[00:09:48] mudslides appeared. Currently, the southbound lane is closed, and the northbound lane is open for one-way
[00:09:51] traffic. But not only the mountainous areas, the urban areas also experienced continuous water accumulation,
[00:09:55] a scene of devastation .
[00:09:57] People are terrified that their homes will once again become a vast ocean. Elsewhere, in Keelung,
[00:10:01] a house was burned down in a large fire . The fire raged fiercely,
[00:10:04] with fiery red flames erupting, as if a giant dragon had descended to swallow the entire house
[00:10:08] . The scene was filled with dense smoke reaching the sky, terrifying nearby residents
[00:11:25] . A group of three people were crossing the road, when a scooter with two riders came straight towards them
[00:11:29] from the other side. The next second, the scooter directly hit the little girl in the middle
[00:11:33] from behind, hitting her in the waist. She immediately fell down and sat on the ground, holding her waist as she
[00:11:37] stood up. Both parties immediately started arguing. The incident occurred in the urban area of Zhanghua. The police
[00:11:41] stated that they had not received a report, but if you look closely at the scooter rider
[00:11:44] . The scooter with two riders ran a red light, weaving
[00:11:48] through heavy traffic. This was a super reckless act. They didn't stop at all
[00:11:52] , as if their brakes had failed, and then hit the pedestrians.
[00:13:56] The police also discovered that these three suspects were involved in the Zhushan shooting case two years ago, where they chased
[00:14:00] another group of people on the street and fired five shots . This time, the case of abandoning and abusing
[00:14:04] someone to death involves the same group of people , who again fired shots and abused someone to death. It is feared
[00:14:08] that the police still have more to investigate.
[00:14:25] Later, Taiwan Railway responded, expressing apologies and saying they would contact for refunds, but
[00:14:29] Mr. Yan Shao said that after waiting for a day, no one had contacted him
[00:14:32] .
[00:14:33] 。
[00:14:40] The next bite of pork ribs, I noticed that about a quarter to half of
[00:14:44] the pork ribs were missing . It looked like it had been gnawed on badly. My
[00:14:47] hands and feet were chopped off .
[00:14:50] 。
[00:16:27] There are also many traces of patching. Other students revealed that recently when it rained, the walls would also seep water. In addition,
[00:16:31] a freshman at Pingtung University also took a picture showing that the walls
[00:16:35] and windows were full of cockroaches.
[00:17:38] The school stated that the dormitories are old, all about forty to fifty years old. Therefore, starting from the 116th
[00:17:42] academic year, they will successively renovate three student dormitories
[00:17:46] . Also, what made freshmen scream when they saw it was also the Pingtung
[00:17:49] University dormitory, where the walls were severely leaking, especially the windows,
[00:17:53] with traces of water seeping onto the floor. When you opened the window blinds, there were also scary cockroaches
[00:17:57] . How could there be mold and other plants growing on the window sill? The glass was even broken
[00:18:01] . Was it a bullet hole? Other windows had no glass, only a piece of paper taped to block them
[00:18:05] , and the bed was also covered with a pile of transparent tape.
[00:19:07] ordered products to express support. His opponent, Shen Po-yang, continued to campaign
[00:19:11] intensely, stating that this week he will register and announced that the
[00:19:15] head of the campaign committee will be a mysterious guest. The 2026
[00:19:19] 9-in-1 election registration officially began. DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Po-yang visited
[00:19:23] Nangang early in the morning to campaign and said he would not reveal the registration date, but announced that the head of the campaign committee
[00:19:26] would be a mysterious guest . It must be
[00:19:30] this week. Chiang Wan-an of the KMT has not yet confirmed his registration date, but chose to
[00:19:34] launch the "Fresh Milk 3.0" policy on the first day of the election .
[00:23:50] With a huge bang, it was violently flung away. The white car was hit, spun around, and then pushed into a utility pole
[00:23:54] . Its rear bumper fell off and flew away , and the entire car rebounded forward
[00:23:57] . The front of the blue car was also totaled . The incident
[00:24:01] occurred at noon on the 25th in Tainan's Anding District. The white car driver was hit by a stray
[00:24:05] car. Netizens criticized, "It's been a red light for so long, and you still ran it." "It feels like the blue car completely ignored
[00:24:09] the red light and didn't slow down at all. How can someone who can't tell the difference between red and green lights
[00:24:13] get a driver's license?"
[00:24:13] .
[00:24:18] On Fuchien Road, a car turned.
[00:27:44] Unexpectedly, after the police arrived, the man's emotions continued to escalate, he kept shouting and even reached out and aggressively grabbed
[00:27:48] the police officer's chest. Elsewhere in Yuanlin, there was also a drunk man
[00:27:52] lying across the middle of the road in the middle of the night, almost getting hit
[00:27:55] by a car .
[00:27:59] The man was most angry because he had an argument with a taxi driver.
[00:29:32] And it's not just one person who encountered this, other drivers in traffic
[00:29:36] also had a screen that showed an extra person next to the car's front, making
[00:29:40] the driver so scared that he yelled at the air , "Brother, if you're okay, go home." However,
[00:29:44] an automotive expert explained that this has nothing to do with the Ghost Month
[00:29:47] . It's just that the sensor radar got water in it or touched hot
[00:29:51] air, causing a malfunction
[00:29:53] .
