突发！《老友记》“Ross”被判入狱9个月丨说英闻

近日，英国一嫌犯Abdulah Husseini因盗窃、诈骗罪被判入狱9个月。

虽说警方抓个小偷不算什么大事儿，不过这位大哥在去年就因为其通缉照在网络上引起了轰动。

去年9月，一名男子在英格兰一家餐馆里偷了一箱啤酒后，当地警方在网上发布帖文，寻找目击人士。

照片中嫌犯的“惊鸿一瞥”让不少眼尖的网友炸开了锅。

很多网友确实出来帮忙指证——很明显这盗贼不就是《老友记》里的Ross，演员David Schwimmer嘛!

And a swarm of people did help identify the thief – as it was obviously David Schwimmer also known as Ross from “Friends”.

网友们的“指认”狂轰乱炸，最后把David本人都给炸了出来。

嫌疑犯的照片在网上传开之后，《老友记》主演David Schwimmer发布了一个视频“自证清白”。

Friends star David Schwimmer posted a video clearing his name after the alleged thief's image went viral.

David不减搞笑本色，在视频中还原了“犯罪过程”，推文中表示自己当时可是在纽约啊！

当然有网友并不认可David的“狡辩”：

当然结果证明，David真是冤枉的，嫌犯照片发布后一个月，嫌疑人Abdulah Husseini在伦敦西部被捕。

当时警方在推特上公布了案情进展，还顺便向积极配合的David送去了感谢。

CNN:

It hasn't been his day, his week, his month -- you get the picture.

The David Schwimmer lookalike whose alleged theft went viral last year has been jailed for nine months, bringing to an end a lengthy saga that even prompted the "Friends" star himself to jokingly declare his innocence.

Independent:

A suspected beer thief who unwittingly found internet fame due to his strong resemblance to “Friends” actor David Schwimmer has been arrested in London, police have said.

A security clip of the suspect went viral after it was noticed the man, who allegedly stole a crate of beer from a restaurant in Blackpool, bore a striking similarity to Schwimmer’s character Ross, from the popular 1990s TV show.
