Man charged after attacking police with toy 'Star Wars' lightsabers

A 33-year-old man has been prosecuted after he attacked three Toys "R" Us customers with toy lightsabers.

When police arrived at the scene, David Canterbury from Hillsboro, Oregon began swinging at the officers.

He had one lightsaber in each hand, reports The Oregonian.

One officer's attempt to use a taser on Canterbury failed when he deflected the hit with a lightsaber. Police eventually overpowered and arrested him at the toy store.

Afterwards, Canterbury apologised to everyone that he attacked and stated that he intends to undergo mental health treatment. None of the victims required medical attention.

The man was sentenced to 45 days in jail for assault and resisting arrest.

Canterbury has also banned from the Toys "R" Us store.
