Man uses candy cane to subdue attacker with knife

 

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -A man using a candy cane lawn ornament fended off a knife-wielding neighbor who had been attacking holiday guests at a Sacramento home. Police spokesman Sgt. Norm Leong said the man used the two-foot-tall plastic ornament to subdue the attacker until officers arrived.

He said the 49-year-old suspect became intoxicated, went over to a neighbor's home on Thanksgiving and began waving a kitchen knife at people gathered on the lawn.

He cut several peoples' clothing before one of them decided to fight back.

Police said the man with the knife was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. The guest who took up the candy cane was not arrested because police determined he acted in self-defense.

I thought at first the man used a sharpened candy cane, the normal sized sugar variety. I know those things can get sharp if you work at it :)

Hey everybody! Gather around that drunk guy with a knife!

If it was Capt. Picard's house, they would have thought it was a relative.

Oh, that is so wrong!

 

You know darn well his relatives are still in jail from Thanksgiving.
