We give a topological version of a Bertini type theorem due to Abhyankar. A new definition of a branched covering is given. If the restriction of the natural projection π: Y × Z → Y to a closed set V ⊂ Y × Z is a branched covering then, under certain assumptions, we can obtain generators of the fundamental group π₁((Y×Z).
