Toy Lightsaber Used As Self Defense In Knife Fight

Police say a North Carolina man used "an elegant weapon...for a more civilized age" to defend himself when his step-daughter attacked him following a heated argument. According to the Charlotte Observer, 17-year-old Kayla Knapp lunged at her stepfather with two large knives she took from the kitchen while the two argued. The quick-thinking man grabbed a toy lightsaber that was nearby and started hitting his stepdaughter with it in self-defense. By the time police arrived the altercation had ended and neither person appeared to be injured during the scuffle. Police charged Knapp with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature. The man, who was not identified by police, was not charged.
