World's THINNEST car measuring just 19in wide that's skinnier than a motorbike is unveiled… & it works if you can fit in
THE world's thinnest car has been unveiled, measuring up at just 19 inches wide - making it more narrow than a motorbike. Shocking footage showed the unprecedented vehicle being driven around town slowly by its creator as stunned bystanders walked alongside it. 3 3 3 The model - which is the same width as a standard pillow - and has been dubbed Panda for one for its tiny capacity. The light blue car almost appears like a 2D cartoon due to how astonishingly thin it is. It has just one headlight at the front, and what appear to be two tiny indicator lights to either side of it. The car does, however, have four wheels - despite how narrow its body is. The vehicle measures at just a third of the width of the Panda 141, the first rendition of the iconic car, and around a quarter of the new Grande Panda. Its wheels are also extremely thin - but are no match for the incredibly tiny interior. Inside the record-breaking car there is one front seat, but behind that is an extra back seat which could bring the bizarre car's total seat count to two. There is only one door for the driver though, so anyone wanting to squeeze in the back will have to enter through the front door and climb in the rear. The back seat would probably be big enough to only hold a child, and not another full-sized adult. A black Fiat steering wheel sits ahead of the driving seat, while the car also features wind-down windows. The car also has two poking out wing mirrors - which probably account for nearly a third of the car's total width. Dubai billionaire businessman slammed for gifting baby daughter £500,000 bright pink Rolls Royce for her first birthday In the viral video of the car, its owner jibed that his mum had put his car in the wash, causing it to shrink. He said of his groundbreaking motor: "Look at this perfection." But he proceeded to give tour of the incredible car with chairs the size of skis, a minuscule ventilation unit and a boot the width of a small microwave. Unfortunately, the car cannot reach very high speeds - possibly due to its small electric engine. Although its inventor did take the car for a ride to prove that it actually works, its top acceleration is limited. Marazzi said: "Obviously it works, electrically it goes forward, backward, steers, brakes. Does everything." It was unveiled as part of Panda a Pandino, the seventh rendition of the event which celebrated the 45th anniversary of the Fiat Panda from June 19 to 22. Fiat Panda enthusiasts from Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Portugal came to Pandino in Italy to participate and display variations of the model. The mechanic who built the one-of-a-kind car is named Andrea Marazzi - who has created oher "extreme" models like this in the past. One viewer commented on his YouTube video, calling the car a "work of art".

Moment Earl's Court station attacker is pinned down by hero bystanders after he set upon staff and passengers
This is the shocking moment a man ran around a London Underground station attacking another male before being pinned down by hero bystanders. Extraordinary footage showed one man in a black coat and trousers chasing another man wearing a black shirt and white trousers around the Earl's Court ticket hall. Shocked onlookers watched yesterday afternoon as the victim tried to defend himself with a metal leaflet stand before the attacker ran after him towards the station exit. The victim then ran back into the station as the attacker continued to give chase, pushing over a notice board as they both bumped into innocent bystanders. He eventually managed to get away by pushing through a wide aisle ticket barrier - and when the attacker could not get through himself, he ran away from the scene. However, he was caught by a member of Transport for London (TfL) staff and two other men before being pinned to the ground until police arrived. The man, aged in his 20s, was then arrested by British Transport Police (BTP) on suspicion of three counts of common assault and taken into custody. A video of the chase entitled 'Bro was trying to steal his watch' was posted on TikTok by user Sye @ellumsy3 and has already racked up 1.5million views. Comments included: 'Nobody helped... s**t of everyone TBH'; 'A lot of people there, nobody help, why?; and 'Sadly this is becoming more common now'. A follow-up clip of the man being pinned down has also had 9,000 views. But BTP later clarified that there was no suggestion of any attempted watch theft. A BTP spokesman told MailOnline: 'Officers were called at around 1.40pm yesterday to a report of a man attacking staff and a member of the public at Earl's Court Underground station. 'Members of the public had detained the man prior to police arrival and a man, aged 20, was arrested on suspicion of three counts of common assault and taken into custody. 'Although enquiries are ongoing, there is currently no suggestion that the incident was related to an attempted watch theft.' A spokeswoman for TfL added: 'Everyone should feel safe and be safe when travelling in London. 'We are investigating this footage and we encourage anyone who witnessed or experienced this incident to report this to the British Transport Police.' Earl's Court station, which is served by District and Piccadilly line trains, was opened in 1871 and is on the border of zones one and two in West London.

Boy, two, 'in a coma after airline passenger throws him to the floor in airport lounge'
A two-year-old child has been left in a coma after an airline passenger reportedly violently threw him to the floor of an airport lounge in Russia. The suspect, under the influence of drugs, picked up a boy at Moscow 's Sheremetyevo Airport and then slammed him to the ground with full force, the state news agency TASS reported. The toddler was hospitalized and, according to unconfirmed media reports, the boy is in a coma due to severe head injuries. The incident reportedly occurred shortly before midnight in the departure lounge yesterday. Fortunately, bystanders were able to prevent the man from further attacking the child. The man has been arrested and is being investigated for attempted murder. Sheremetyevo International Airport is the busiest in Russia, handling more than 40 million passengers and over 300,000 aircraft last year. It comes after the airport previously made the headlines in 2018 when an air passenger started a fist fight after he asked to get off the plane for a smoke as his plane was ready for take off. The 38-year-old man, who was allegedly drunk, demanded to be let off the plane for a cigarette as it taxied towards the runway at the Russian capital city of Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport. Other passengers, including a man in a red jumper sitting behind him, tried to reason with the man and told him he would be able to smoke when the plane reached the city of Krasnoyarsk in central Russia's Krasnoyarsk Krai region. But the man became increasingly aggressive, insulting the man in the red jumper sitting behind him. The pair ended up exchanging blows as cabin crew tried to keep them apart. An eyewitness with a smartphone filmed the fight and posted the footage on video sharing platforms where it is proving popular with viewers. The man, whose name has not been released, carried on swearing and insulting other passengers, asking them if they had 'read the script'. The pilot decided to turn back to the airport so the man could be taken off the plane and arrested by airport police. The passenger was later charged with hooliganism and faces a hefty fine for his actions. The incident led to the flight being delayed by two hours.
