Special Report: Mutant Rampage Who: News 8 Reporter What: Special Report: Mutant Rampage in NYC When: Flooding the air on Wednesday afternoon, January 6th Where: Broadcast to the greater NYC area We are interrupting your regular programming to bring you a special report about a situation which is unfolding live.
Moments ago, a large man, believed to be a mutant, started a campaign of unprovoked violence in New York City. The man, who appears to have enhanced strength, possibly a mutation, has assaulted multiple civilians and caused at least one car accident. Police are in route to the location and are asking that anyone within the area not exit buildings. The perpetrator appears to be restricting his violence to the streets so please, get inside and stay inside, lock your doors and do not attempt to leave the area.
News 8 will continue to bring up updated reports as this situation unfolds, in the mean time we bring you some live-action shots from our News 8 helicopter which is circling the area. We'll take you to our on-scene reporter in the chopper. Tom?
We have been bringing you live coverage of the mutant attacking New York, and are breaking into your regularly scheduled programming with an update to this situation. It appears a group of individuals--mutants--have appeared and are confronting the assailant. It is believed that the entire group of nine are all mutants, though we have not seen mutant powers from all of them. Some seem to be attempting to help the police with crowd control, moving citizens away from the out of control man, though others seem to be taking him head-on.
In this clip you can see a woman throwing a car at the rampaging mutant. Here is a man with wings, this clip seems to show both random electrical outburst and spontaneous... explosions of rocks, I think would be the best term for it. They seem to be picking up where the police have not dared go, engaging the mutant, though this could, in and of itself, be considered vigilante justice. Stay tuned to News 8 for more updates as they come in.
We have been bringing you live coverage of the mutant rampage ongoing in New York, with the aid of our News 8 helicopter. Moments ago, there was a brilliant flash of light which damaged our equipment and caused us to have to pull away out of the area for a short while. This flash is believed to have originated from a mutant, as the police have confirmed no such weapon was used by their officers. This blast leveled several buildings, we are unclear on if this eliminated the mutant assailant, or if it allowed him to escape. The band of mutants who appeared to, it is assumed, try and stop the assailant were no longer present when we were able to get the News 8 Chopper back into the area.
