警察尋找被看到開下費城美術館台階的汽車

Police on Friday were looking for the driver of a convertible seen driving down the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps made famous in the movie "Rocky."

警方週五尋找被看到將敞篷車開下因電影「洛基」而聞名的費城美術館台階的駕駛人。

Several people posted online videos showing the car slowly making its way down the long, wide outdoor staircase in fits and starts at about midnight Thursday. The car then speeds off.

好幾個人張貼的網路影片顯示，那輛車在週四午夜斷斷續續、緩緩地開下那條又長又寬敞的戶外台階。然後那輛車加速開走。

A photographer who calls himself Hugh E Dillon and who runs the local entertainment website PhillyChitChat.com posted one of the videos. Dillon said he lives nearby and happened upon the stunt.

一名自稱休斯．E．狄倫、經營當地娛樂網站PhillyChitChat.com的拍攝者，張貼其中一段影片。狄倫說，他就住在附近，碰巧看到此一特技。

Officer Christine O’Brien, a police spokeswoman, said no officer witnessed the episode, but added that the recording appears to be legitimate and investigators were "watching the video on YouTube that everyone has seen."

警方發言人、警官克莉絲汀．歐布萊恩表示，沒有任何一名員警目睹此一事件；但補充說，這些影片看似合法正當，調查人員「正在觀看大家都看過的YouTube影片。」

Police earlier told reporters they also planned to review surveillance video to try to find the car and its driver, who could face citations for reckless driving and driving on the sidewalk, among others. （AP）

警方稍早向媒體透露，他們也打算調閱監視錄影畫面，以找出這輛車及其駕駛人，該名駕駛人恐將因危險駕駛、將車開上人行道等犯行被傳訊。（美聯社）
