Make That A Safety Catch - On A Revolver
A Romanian policeman tried to calm down a group of drunk teenagers with a warning shot - but hit his colleague in the leg instead. The two policemen had been called to Brasov town square by residents protesting about the behaviour of the youngsters. The officer said he took off the safety catch before he was ready and he hit his partner in the thigh.

Height Of Ineptitude
What Measures Will They Adopt Now?
Officials in Transylvania spent $400,000 on a luxury coach for Dracula sightseeing tours - only to find it was too big to get through the city gates. Entry to the old centre of Brasov is through 10-feet gates and councillors were embarrassed to find the double-decker coach was too high. They had invested the money in an attempt to attract more tourists to the city to boost the local economy. Brasov is close to Bran Castle which attracts thousands of tourists each year as it's believed to have been the home of Vlad the Impaler - the inspiration for Count Dracula.
