Stefan Koubek Chokes Daniel Koellerer At Tennis Tournament (VIDEO): Austrian tennis player Stefan 'Cooley' Koubek was filmed choking Daniel 'Crazy Dani' Köllerer, his opponent (also an Austrian) during a match.

A league tennis match in Austria was halted earlier this month after a player grabbed his opponent by the throat during a changeover. Stefan Koubek, ranked No. 121 in the world, was disqualified after choking Daniel Koellerer (No. 109) following a heated mid-match exchange in which Koellerer reportedly insulted his opponent and knocked a racquet out of his hand. My German is a little rusty non-existent, so I don't know what was being said in the clip. It's telling, however, that the fans booed Koellerer as he left the court while cheering the aggressor, Koubek. Not that physical contact with another player is ever acceptable, but given Koellerer's terrible reputation on tour (he's widely disliked and known as an instigator) and the crowd's reaction, I'd say Koubek wasn't completely in the wrong. Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands. Literally, in this case.

THIS little girl learned her lesson when she played truant - and impaled herself on a steel fence spike trying to climb out of the playground. Xiao Zhang, 12, was rescued by firefighters who abandoned attempts to cut her free and simply lifted her off the spike in Wenzhou, southern China.

She told the Austrian Times: "I was in a lot of pain but I didn't call for help at first because I didn't want to get into trouble for missing school."

One rescue worker added: "She's lucky it didn't shatter any bones and was just a flesh wound."

of lederhosen style bikini swimwear latest craze

Thighs the limit for lederhosen: Lederhosen style swimwear is becoming the latest European beach craze that designers/manufacturers cannot keep up with the demand.

Lederhosen style swimwear has become the latest European beach craze — thanks to camp Austrian TV presenter Bruno.

The bizarre twist on the traditional Austrian shorts is available for men — and also in a bikini style for adventurous girls. And the shorts alone have flown off the shelves since the launch of Sacha Baron Cohen's controversial film — Bruno — in which the character models a series of risqué takes on the traditional farmers outfit.

The actor who nearly died on stage... after slashing his throat with REAL knife in bizarre prop mix-up: Actor Daniel Hoevels slits his throat after the fake blade that he was meant to use to 'kill' himself had been swapped for a real one. Not knowing that the 'suicidal' scene was for real, the audience broke into a rapturous ovation.


Actor Daniel Hoevels slit his throat on stage after a fake knife was swapped for a real one

As actor Daniel Hoevels slumped to the stage, blood gushing from his neck, the audience broke into a rapturous ovation. But little did they know that the actor's stunningly realistic suicidal scene finale had little to do with his acting talents or clever special effects. He had actually slit his throat after the fake blade that he was meant to use to 'kill' himself had been swapped for a real one. The audience were still clapping as he collapsed to the boards, trying to stop the blood flow with his hands.

A scan from an Austrian newspaper, whose headline reads 'Real Drama at the Burgtheatre' after Daniel Hoevels almost died in front of his audience
