Angry French fan throws TV out the window

A French rugby fan was so distraught at his team’s World Cup semifinal exit that he threw his television out of the window of his flat on to a car parked two floors below.

Police said the man, who had been drinking as he watched Les Bleus slip to a 14-9 defeat to England on Saturday, also threw his video recorder and furniture from his second-floor apartment.

The devastated fan will pay the cost of the damages to the car, a police spokesperson explained. — AFP
