Fuck rock, paper, scissors: we're all for knife, frying pan and banjo.
Update: Tuesday, September 14, 3:51PM: We've found the name of the knife-and-frying-pan wielder: Alexander L. Hilton, age 21. He's been charged with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct. But the question still remains: What band were they arguing about?
Monday night in Overland Park, a man was attacked by a guy wielding two classic weapons: a knife and a frying pan. The dude swung his banjo at the knife-wielder's head.
Guess who won?
Here's the report on what went down:
Attacked by a man wielding a frying pan and a knife, an Overland Park man swung his banjo.Police say the banjo blow to the head stopped the assailant, who was treated for a cut and is now in jail awaiting charges.
