An Oregon man hurled both of his prosthetic legs at a state trooper, striking him with one, after his son was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, police said.
The incident began when the trooper stopped a sport utility vehicle going the wrong way on a highway in southern Oregon. The trooper at first detained only the driver after he became aggressive.
But then his father charged at the arresting officer several times before the trooper knocked him to the ground, according to the police report.
'Passenger removed a prosthetic leg and threw it at trooper, hitting trooper in chest. Passenger removed second leg, threw it at trooper but missed,' the report said.
The father and son face multiple charges, including assault on a public safety officer.
