This is the horrifying moment a Brazilian woman screamed for help after being attacked by a man who tried to rape her on a train in Paris, before a heroic passenger came to her rescue.

In disturbing footage, a woman can be heard crying loudly as the man accused of attacking her points towards the passenger who came to her aid.

When the train stops, the alleged perpetrator steps off and runs away. The alleged attack happened between Choisy-le-Roi and Villeneuve-le-Roi stations on October 16.

The victim, identified as 26-year-old Brazilian national Jhordana Dias, was reportedly alone in the carriage when the alleged attacker spotted her from the platform and entered as the doors were closing.

He is said to have approached her and launched a violent assault, allegedly slapping, biting, and scratching her while she screamed for help.

The woman said: ‘When the doors dinged to close, the attacker jumped on the train, and then I realised I was alone with him. And that’s when the attacks began.

‘He pulled down my trousers, choked me, and tried to kiss me by force. I didn’t want to kiss him.’

Her brother, Cicero Junior, claimed that his sister fought for her life. He said that when she resisted, the attacker allegedly strangled and tried to rape her.

A woman in a nearby carriage reportedly heard Jhordana’s cries and rushed in.

She confronted the man and began recording him on her phone, prompting him to flee.

Cicero said his sister phoned him straight after the ordeal, and he spoke with the woman who had helped her.

He said he asked her to stay with Jhordana and contact the police.

He later took his sister to a police station to file a report, but the suspect has not yet been identified.

Jhordana had been in France for two months after leaving Brazil to escape alleged domestic abuse from a former partner.

He told CNN Brasil: ‘She left Brazil for peace, and she didn’t have peace here.

‘It’s been very difficult for us, for everyone, for the family, because we want justice.’

He explained that she had travelled to Paris to attend his wedding and hoped to begin a new chapter in her life.

 A forensic exam has been scheduled for October 29, but fearing that her cuts and bruises may heal before then, he took her to a doctor so her injuries could be documented.

Cicero said: ‘The police have the videos, the witnesses, everything they need to find him. But so far, he hasn’t been found.’

Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it remains available to offer consular support to Brazilian citizens living in France.

Sophia Forchas, 12, was the most seriously wounded of the surviving children injured in the Aug. 27 shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church

A 12-year-old girl who was shot in the head during a deadly attack at a Minneapolis Catholic church in August was released from the hospital Thursday, Oct. 23, in what her parents describe as “one of the most extraordinary days of our lives.”

Sophia Forchas was the most seriously wounded among the surviving children injured in the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church. A shooter opened fire through the windows of the church on Aug. 27 during morning Mass as children marked the first week of school, killing an 8-year-old and a 10-year-old and injuring 21 others, 18 of them children.

Sophia’s parents, Amy and Thomas Forchas, praised those who treated her in a statement Thursday announcing her release.

“To every individual who played a role in Sophia’s healing and recovery: We thank you from the depths of our hearts,” they said, adding that they will never forget the world-class care that sustained her and the commitment of the medical staff that “carried us through.”

“Sophia’s healing journey continues with outpatient therapy and the road to full recovery remains long,” her parents continued. “Yet, our hearts are filled with indescribable joy as we witness her speech improving daily, her personality shining through once more, and her ability to walk, swim, and even dribble a basketball.”

They also thanked people for their prayers and acknowledged the victims and survivors of the attack.

“Even in the midst of this profound joy, our hearts remain tender,” they said. “We continue to pray for those whose lives were tragically lost on that heartbreaking day. May their memory be eternal. We also hold close those who were injured and bear lasting scars, and the families and loved ones forever changed.”

Catholic Spirit, a newspaper, posted a video to its Facebook page Thursday of Sophia visiting the hospital where she was rushed after the shooting, following her release from Gillette Children’s Hospital. Medical staff carried banners that said “Sophia Strong,” as well as birthday messages ahead of her 13th birthday this weekend. She rode in a limousine with a police escort led by Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.

Sophia’s mother, Amy, a pediatric critical care nurse, was working in the intensive care unit of the hospital where Sophia was rushed — before knowing where the attack had occurred or that her daughter was critically injured.

Sophia’s neurosurgeon at Hennepin Healthcare, Dr. Walt Galicich, said in September that she was shot in the left temporal lobe and the bullet remained lodged in her right occipital lobe. He expressed concern at a Sept. 5 news conference, saying Sophia could become “the third fatality.” She had to have one side of her skull removed to quell brain swelling.

Sophia and her younger brother were students at Annunciation Catholic School. Her brother was inside the school during the shooting but was not physically injured, their parents have said.

A GoFundMe launched to support their recovery has raised more than $1 million.

A passenger bus has erupted into flames after a motorcycle crashed into it early Friday, killing at least 25 people and injuring several others in southern India.

The fire tore through the ‘luxury’ bus within minutes, trapping dozens of passengers as it sped along a highway near Kurnool district in Andhra Pradesh state, senior police official Vikrant Patil said.

Some managed to smash open windows and leap to safety with minor injuries while others were burned to death before help could arrive, Patil said.

The bus with 44 passengers aboard, many of them asleep, was travelling between the cities of Hyderabad in Telangana state and Bengaluru in Karnataka state.

The official added that 15 people had been rescued and have since been admitted to hospital.

The accident occurred in Chinnatekuru village near Kurnool, around 130 miles south of Hyderabad.

The motorcycle rammed into the speeding bus from behind and got stuck, Patil said. It was dragged for some distance, causing sparks that engulfed the bus’s fuel tank.

‘As the smoke started spreading, the driver stopped the bus and tried to put the fire out by using a fire extinguisher, but the fire was so intense he couldn’t control it,’ Patil said.

Most passengers were asleep at the time of the accident. The bus was gutted and the unidentified bike rider also died, he said.

A team of forensic experts was investigating the incident.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Andhra Pradesh’s highest elected official, N. Chandrababu Naidu, offered their condolences to the bereaved families.

The deadly bus fire was the second such accident in India in less than two weeks.

A suspected short circuit sparked a fire on a passenger bus in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan early this month, rapidly engulfing the vehicle in flames and killing at least 20 people.

Actress Isabelle Tate’s cause of death has been confirmed.

Tate was 23 when she died on Oct. 19, according to an obituary posted by a local funeral home. She had just graduated from Middle Tennessee State University and had scored her first-ever acting role in 9-1-1: Nashville before her death.

On Thursday, Oct. 23, Tate’s talent agency, The McCray Agency, said in an Instagram Story post that the actress died of “a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.” She died “peacefully” on Oct. 19 and her family “requests privacy as they deal with this sudden and shocking loss.”

“CMT is a rare multisystem, multiorgan disease that causes lifelong, progressive symptoms, including muscle weakness and atrophy in the arms and legs, sensory loss, and other complications,” according to the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA). “These symptoms often lead to challenges with balance, walking, hand use, and other daily activities.”

The McCray Agency included a link to donate to the CMTA, adding, “In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations in Izzy’s memory be made at the same link.”

Country music legend Alan Jackson was also diagnosed with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in 2021. Jackson, 67, announced plans to retire from performing due to the disease, with his final show scheduled for June 2026.

Following Tate’s death, the McCray Agency, shared a tribute on Instagram.

“We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19th. She was 23,” read the post’s caption. “I’ve known Izzy since she was a teenager and she recently returned to acting. She booked the first series she auditioned for, 9-1-1: Nashville. She had a wonderful time.”

In the pilot episode of 9-1-1: Nashville, Tate played Julie, who was in a wheelchair and attending a strip show when Hunter McVey’s character Blue paid her special attention.

In a statement shared with PEOPLE, McVey said he was “shocked” to hear of Tate’s death and offered “prayers for her family.”

“I didn’t know Isabelle prior to filming, but I couldn’t have asked for someone better to work with on one of my first-ever days on set,” he said.

“I was terrified, nervous, and after each take, we would get to exchange a couple words, which were always supportive from her. I got the pleasure of talking with her after the scene, and she had such a great energy. You could tell she brought joy to a lot of people,” McVey continued. “I’m thankful I got a chance to work with Isabelle and that a part of her will live on forever in the pilot episode of 9-1-1 Nashville.”

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) recently shared video footage of its Border Mounted Patrol Unit (BMPU) capturing a criminal illegal immigrant from Mexico last weekend on a private ranch in Kinney County, Texas.

Adan Delgado-Ortega, 52, was arrested and turned over to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to DPS.

While working “Operation Lone Star” just after 9 a.m. local time Sunday, DPS’ mounted unit, along with a K-9 and its handler, responded to a camera activation by a man on a private ranch.

BMPU troopers and the K-9 tracked and found Delgado-Ortega hiding in thick brush, according to DPS.

After he was taken into custody, troopers discovered that Delgado-Ortega is a previously deported felon, with multiple deportations dating back to 1998.

He also has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for assault, family violence, weapons charges, evading arrest and drug possession, according to officials.

Delgado-Ortega was last deported from the U.S. in August 2025 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) in Oklahoma City.

MADERA, Calif. — A potential nightmare for a group of California parents was prevented by a pair of unexpected heroes.

On Tuesday, the brave men responsible for saving the lives of 20 school children were honored by the Madera County Board of Supervisors and others.

Carlos Perea Romero and Angel Zarco were honored by the Madera County Board of Supervisors in a ceremony after they courageously evacuated the flaming bus filled with students on the way to school on Sept. 4.

“All the students made it out safely without any injuries due to the immediate action taken by the farmworkers and the bus driver. The Board of Supervisors recognize the two men for their selfless courage and bravery, demonstrating the highest ideals of public service, compassion and community spirit,” a press release from the ceremony reads.

September 4 started as a typical workday for Perea and Zarco, until Perea noticed smoke coming from a Madera Unified school bus.

Without a second thought, the pair jumped into action.

“We were just making sure the kids were far away enough so that they wouldn’t get hurt,” Zarco said.

“One more moment that would have lasted, I don’t now what would have happened,” Romero said in a post from Madera County.+

Zarco added, “I’m just happy to help out the community. This is where I grew up, and I’m just glad to be able to keep somebody safe.”

They alerted the driver and began evacuating the students inside, working through thick plumes of smoke to get to the students in the back row.

Moments later, the bus was quickly covered in roaring flames.

“The bus caught fire right away, probably within like two minutes, three minutes. It all happened right away,” Zarco added.

The two men met at the intersection to fix a broken tractor, but Perea is now saying it was no coincidence.

“God put you in that place for a reason. It was to help out the kids, help out the community right there,” Perea said.

The bus was left charred and the bright yellow paint was reduced to an ashy grey.

CAL FIRE Division Chief Larry Pendarvis says he’s grateful for the men’s courageous choice.

“Buses can be replaced, humans can’t,” Pendarvis said.

Perea and Zarco will now forever be known as heroes in their hometown.

Perea’s daughter was also in attendance for the proclamation. He told us it means everything to be recognized for such an amazing act in front of her.

Madera County sheriff Tyson Pogue told ABC that Romero and Zarco’s actions helped protect the local community.

“We are profoundly grateful to the two farmworkers whose heroic actions saved the lives of more than 20 children. Their quick thinking, bravery, and compassion in the face of danger exemplify the very best of Madera County. Without hesitation, they acted selflessly to protect others. Our community is stronger because of individuals like them, and we are proud of their extraordinary heroism,” he said.

A Pomona High School basketball coach and his wife were among the three victims killed in a chain-reaction crash involving multiple vehicles, including several semitrucks, earlier this week on the 10 Freeway in Ontario.

The school confirmed the couple died in the Tuesday afternoon collision but did not immediately release their names. The Pomona Unified School District did not immediately respond to ABC7’s request for more information about the two victims.

The identity of the third person killed in the pileup has also not been released. Four others were hospitalized.

“The hardest part is knowing that at least three of these individuals will not have a Christmas, will not make it home as we get into the holiday season,” said Officer Rodrigo Jimenez, a spokesman for the California Highway Patrol.

On Thursday, the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office filed charges against 21-year-old Jashanpreet Singh, the semitruck driver accused of causing the eight-vehicle chain-reaction.

Singh was charged with three counts of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and one count of DUI causing injury. The drug allegedly involved was not specified by authorities.

He is expected to make his first court appearance at 1:30 p.m.

A law enforcement source confirmed to ABC7 that Singh is an Indian national who entered the U.S. illegally three years ago.

Isabelle Tate has died.

The actress, who recently appeared in the series premiere of 9-1-1: Nashville, died on Sunday, Oct. 19, at the age of 23, according to her obituary. Born and raised in Tennessee, Tate is described as an animal-lover who “wanted to change the world” and spent much of her time volunteering.

“Isabelle was full of fire, a fighter, never once making excuses for the fact that she might have a disability relative to others,” the obituary reads. “She was also quite musically inclined, often spending hours writing and recording songs with friends and even publishing a few.”

“What she loved the most though was spending time with family and friends, always the life of the party,” it continues. “Her sister was her best friend and her mom was her shining beacon of light.”

Her cause of death has not been revealed.

On Thursday, Oct. 23, Tate’s 911: Nashville costar Hunter McVey shared an exclusive statement with PEOPLE remembering the actress.

“I was shocked to hear the news. I didn’t know Isabelle prior to filming, but I couldn’t have asked for someone better to work with on one of my first ever days on set,” McVey says. “I was terrified, nervous, and after each take we would get to exchange a couple words which were always supportive from her. I got the pleasure of talking with her after the scene and she had such a great energy. You could tell she brought joy to a lot of people. I’m thankful I got a chance to work with Isabelle and that a part of her will live on forever in the pilot episode of 9-1-1 Nashville. Prayers for her family.”

The actress’ talent agency, the McCray Agency, also shared a tribute on Instagram, writing in part, “We are deeply saddened and completely heartbroken to share that Isabelle Tate passed away on October 19th. She was 23. I’ve known Izzy since she was a teenager and she recently returned to acting. She booked the first series she auditioned for, 9-1-1 Nashville. She had a wonderful time.”

Tate previously opened up about having a progressive neuromuscular disease, which she was diagnosed with when she was 13. In an Instagram post from 2022, she explained that the condition “weakens my leg muscles over time,” causing her to need to use a wheelchair.

“This has been a difficult journey for me because having to accept help and surrender to the progression of this condition has been extremely hard,” she wrote at the time. “While I was trying to come to terms with this, I really did find that I lost myself in certain ways. I hated that it was not only breaking me down physically, but I was allowing it to also break down my spirit.”

She added, “I would’ve never expected something like this to happen to me, as most of us wouldn’t. I don’t know why these were the cards I was dealt in life, but I can’t change it so I’m choosing to embrace it and not let it define me.”

Tate took on the role of Julie in 9-1-1: Nashville, which debuted on Oct. 9, sharing the screen with stars such as LeAnn Rimes and Chris O’Donnell. In the episode, Julie receives a lap dance from McVey’s Blue, who is doing a striptease, after a woman blocks her view and calls her “hot wheels” because she’s in a wheelchair.

Before making her way onto television, Tate attended the Middle Tennessee State University and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, per her obituary.

She is survived by her mother, Katerina Kazakos Tate; stepfather, Vishnu Jayamohan; father, John Daniel Tate and sister, Daniella Tate.

Kimber Mills, 18, had big dreams of attending the University of Alabama to pursue a career in nursing.

But sadly, she was shot in a wooded area during a high school bonfire.

Police have now arrested a 27-year-old man, who faces three counts of attempted murder.

A sweetness that drew people in

Eighteen-year-old Kimber Mills was the kind of person whose heart seemed to have no limits — always ready to lend a hand, always thinking of others first. A senior at Cleveland High School in Blount County, Alabama, she balanced her life as a cheerleader with running track, radiating energy and school spirit.

Kimber had big dreams, planning to attend the University of Alabama next year to pursue her goal of becoming a nurse, a path that reflected her caring nature.

Kimber’s sister, Ashley describes her sister as warm and friendly, with a sweetness that drew people in, yet Kimber had a spark, a fiery determination that made her uniquely herself.

“She had a little spunk to her step,” Ashley told AL.com.

But tragically, Kimber’s bright future was cut short. On October 18, Kimber was shot and killed in a heavily wooded area in Pinson, Alabama, known as The Pit, during a high school bonfire.

Caught in the crossfire

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office reported that 27-year-old Steven Tyler Whitehead arrived around 12:24 a.m., and after a verbal and physical altercation, fired multiple shots. In addition to Mills, a 18-year-old man, a 21-year-old man, and a 20-year-old woman were also struck bygunfire.

Whitehead has been charged with three counts of attempted murder and is being held on a $180,000 bond.

“Kimber was caught in the crossfire,” her sister Ashley Mills told AL.com, adding that the shooter was unknown to the group and had reportedly approached one of Kimber’s friends, sparking the fight that ended in tragedy.

Kimber was taken off life support on Oct. 21. Kimber’s family shared that more than 100 people came to see her while she was at the hospital.

Ashley shared on Facebook, “Our sweet baby sister went to be with the Lord at 7:08 p.m. last night! She has had the biggest gathering for honor walk the doc has ever seen! She was and is so loved by so many. We will miss you Kimber! Everyone is free to share this post anywhere they feel necessary!”

Despite her untimely death, Kimber’s generous spirit continues to shine.

Facing the severity of her injuries, the family made the selfless decision to honor her wish to become an organ donor.

“She has too much trauma to her brain,” Ashley said. “She is breathing on her own with an assisted breathing machine… We do have her on a DNR because we don’t want to hurt her anymore trying to bring her back. We’ve already got it set up for her to be an organ donor because that’s what she wanted.”

A final “honor walk” was held at UAB Hospital as staff lined the halls to pay tribute while Kimber was taken into surgery for organ donation.

“It was just a lot of tears and hugs and goodbyes and to me it was God’s will,” recalled Jerrita Hollis, who witnessed the event.

Final act

Through her donation, Kimber will give others a chance to experience milestones she never got to: graduations, weddings, even just another breath of life.

“Nationally, there’s about 100,000 people waiting for an organ donation, but in our state we have 1,200 people approximately waiting,” said Ann Rayburn, director of education for Legacy of Hope, to WBRC.

“What I think about is that each of those numbers is somebody’s sister, mother, father, brother — somebody’s loved one that needs that transplant.”

Remains found buried in a wooded area behind an abandoned school are those of Kada Scott, a 23-year-old woman who had been missing for about two weeks, prosecutors in Philadelphia said Monday.

Authorities said an anonymous tip led police back to the area they previously searched and they found the remains in a shallow grave. DNA tests confirmed her identity.

Keon King, 21, of Dover, Delaware, has been arrested and charged with kidnapping, stalking and other charges in Scott’s disappearance. Bail was set at $2.5 million. Prosecutors say more charges are in the works. A message seeking comment was left Monday for King’s defense lawyer, Shaka Johnson.

“I am confident that homicide charges will be brought,” District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a news conference. “But I also have an obligation to follow the law and uphold the constitution. That means we don’t take shortcuts.”

Prosecutors say King and Scott had cellphone contact and that a stolen vehicle found on fire was used by King. His cellphone was in locations related to her disappearance, prosecutor Ashley Toczylowski told reporters. She said there is extensive video evidence in the case.

Toczylowski said an initial tip last week led investigators to the school but they did not find Scott’s remains, but a new and more specific tip this weekend to “go back, she’s there, look again” led them to Scott.

She said authorities “have reason to believe other people may have been involved after the fact,” calling that a matter “very much still being investigated.”

Additional charges related to the stolen vehicle fire were filed against King, including arson, causing or risking a catastrophe and conspiracy. Krasner’s office said in a news release that the black Hyundai Accent had been reported stolen a day before Scott disappeared on Oct. 4. The car was seen on video parked at a recreation center during the late evening of Oct. 4, near where Scott’s body was found.

Three days later, the Hyundai was reported to be on fire in Philadelphia but it was compacted at a junkyard before investigators could examine it.

King was arrested earlier this year in another case but posted $200,000 bail and was released. In the previous case, prosecutors said, King was accused of kidnapping a woman from in front of her house and forcing her into a car where she was assaulted and eventually let go. Those charges were dropped when the victim and a witness did not appear for court proceedings, Krasner said.

Scott, who worked in an assisted living facility, was remembered Monday in a statement by her parents as a source of “light, kindness and beautiful spirit.” They said their hearts were “shattered” and asked for prayers. She was reported missing after leaving after an overnight shift.
