Short Bytes: A man has been arrested from an Apple Store after he entered the Store with a samurai sword and flashed it multiple times. According to the witnesses, he didn’t harm anyone and yelled some words repeatedly.
The unidentified man was wearing a grey jacket, a bucket cap, and brandished a unsheathed sword. The man didn’t threaten anyone but he flashed his sword repeatedly on the Store’s spiral staircase.
Later, an Apple Store employee, who wishes to remain anonymous, said that the man yelled “I just want an iPhone!”. The employee called it pretty scary.
