Thief Goes Bananas with Stolen Fruit
BERLIN (Reuters) - A raging German fruit thief battered a shop worker with bananas when he was caught swiping a bunch, police in Duesseldorf said Tuesday.
Attempting to flee, the man first kicked and punched the 38-year-old assistant but then switched to using the fruit.
"The bananas were handy so he decided to use them," said Duesseldorf police spokesman Norbert Peters.
"By the time the police arrived, the attendant's face and upper body were completely smeared with bananas," police said in a statement. He was not seriously injured.
Police arrested a 24-year-old man.

I'm sorry but if I had been the police on the scene, I would've been rollin'!!!
;D And as far as the robber is concerned...seems like he defeated the purpose of stealin' the bananas since he decided to use them as a weapon. He prolly could've ate a few after kickin' and punchin' the victim before bein' caught. But ah well...
