A man was arrested in Seattle on Monday, after throwing one of Batman’s iconic bat-shaped weapons at a cop car.
The 23-year-old man threw the Batarang at police officers as they pursued him, after he threatened a bouncer at a bar with a homemade spear—consisting of a knife attached to a metal pole—according to the Seattle police blotter.
After catching him, police found a “sharp, black Batman-style throwing star” embedded in the front of their SUV.
The Dark Knight wannabe has been charged with felony assault.
