Beans, beans, the magical fruit...

A man from New York state is facing a second degree assault charge, after a somewhat bizarre incident that took place shortly after midnight on April 3, according to WIVB.

Police say the suspect then fled the area, right before officials arrived on the scene. One could certainly say this case of alleged assault was a bit unusual, given what the suspect allegedly used to attack the victim, according to reports.

The latest incident comes only a few weeks after another strange dispute that allegedly saw a suspect strike a victim over the head with a guitar in the Saratoga area. Then, there this weird incident, as New York State Police reported that a disturbance between two males in the town of Cortlandville lead to a man striking another man over the head with a sick full of rocks.
