And finally… dummies

Police officers broke a car window to save a woman they thought was dying – only to find it was a mannequin.

Cops in Hudson, New York, received a call that an elderly woman had “frozen to death” in a parked car, The Times Union of Albany reports.

As they rushed to the scene they found what looked like a woman wearing an oxygen mask in the front seat.

After smashing one of the windows, a sergeant found that the “woman” was, in fact, a dummy.

The owner explained that he used the model in his job selling medical training aids. According to the police chief, he was “incredulous” that his window had been broken.
