A Swedish company has been fined 25,000 kronor ($3,000) after a malfunctioning robot attacked and almost killed one of its workers at a factory north of Stockholm.
The incident took place in June 2007 at a factory in Bålsta, north of Stockholm, when the industrial worker was trying to carry out maintenance on a defective machine generally used to lift heavy rocks. Thinking he had cut off the power supply, the man approached the robot with no sense of trepidation.
But the robot suddenly came to life and grabbed a tight hold of the victim's head. The man succeeded in defending himself but not before suffering serious injuries.
Car crashes into police substation
The Providence Police District 9 substation, housed in one of several units at 250 Brook St., is boarded up after a driver crashed his vehicle through the building's front wall early Saturday morning.
Remind anyone here of anything?

Nice catch, Tommy.
Remember that there is a company called Cyberdyne that produces robots as well. A robot called HAL. Check the article I wrote on it.
Wow, that's incredibly blatant!
