The man yelled “I love Jesus Christ” and began smashing the windows of a Los Angeles Police Department patrol car just before 1pm on Hollywood Boulevard. Victor Vargas from KTLA television was shooting video in the area for an unrelated story when he heard the man yell out and then bash out the rear window of the car.
As the incident took place, passersby walked through the scene and actors costumed as superheroes and villains - who pose for photos with tourists in the area - milled about nearby. Vargas walked away and heard the man continue smash the patrol car’s other windows. As Vargas called 911, he recorded video of the incident. The man was armed with two metal construction stakes, one in each hand, Vargas said.

After smashing the car’s windows, the man removed a laptop computer from the vehicle and then walked to a nearby kiosk, where he opened it and began to use it. Meanwhile, a lightsaber-wielding actor dressed as the Star Wars character Darth Vader watched. Within minutes, police officers arrived and pulled the man down onto the Walk of Fame, handcuffing him. An actor costumed as Superman approached to watch the arrest. “I saw the whole thing,” said the man dressed as Superman. “It’s not my job to jump in the middle.” No information on the man arrested was immediately available.

Y'know, I would have bet good money I'd never see this headline.

What's really sad is that people walked by and acted like nothing was happening. You deserve the society you get.

He was breaking into a -Police- car, and was arrested by said police in minutes. Why risk yourself against a crazy man with a bludgeon when there are professionals to take of him literally in minutes?
