When you think of sieges involving medieval weaponry, your mind is probably drawn to the castles and battlements of yore, not an Adelaide warehouse. Regardless, a police officer was injured overnight by being hit in the leg by an actual crossbow bolt. Truly.

Officers reported to a disturbance in the suburb of Hendon, when they encountered the crossbow-wielding man. He opened fire on the police, with a bolt also piercing a cop car’s tire. Just take a moment to imagine what that would’ve been like for the officers on deck.
