Thief Goes Bananas With Stolen Fruit
<snip>

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.

Good thing he didn't have a pointed stick.
