A California college student is being hailed as a hero after he launched himself feet-first through an In-N-Out drive-thru window and confronted a woman allegedly threatening employees with a sharpened wooden stick.
Twenty-year-old Luca Opperman was waiting for his burger at an In-N-Out in Lake Elsinore early Wednesday morning when he suddenly heard loud banging coming from inside the restaurant, the KTLA reported.
Opperman looked through the window and reportedly saw a 53-year-old woman smashing a large, branch-like stick against the counter.
The stick was broken at one end, leaving a jagged point that Opperman believed could seriously injure someone.
Employees reportedly fled into a back room as the woman continued her rampage.
But Opperman did not lock his doors, pull out his phone, and watch from a safe distance.
He jumped out of his vehicle and dove feet-first through the drive-thru window!

A witness told the LA Times that the incredible maneuver was something out of “Spider-Man” or a “Jackie Chan move.”
Opperman, a college student and former parkour instructor who also participates in freestyle trampolining, landed inside the kitchen and grabbed the first potential defensive tool he could find, a metal spatula.

I dont know about these spatulas, but the ones we us we used when I worked in a restaurant as a teen were sharp on one side like a knife!............
I have to admire this guy. Not only could he leap through a window, but he could defeat a crazed woman with a mere spatula. This scenario will have to be duplicated in some action film.
Well, the Monty Python angle had already been covered, so somebody had to do it.
Spatula City is the best one!
Rush used to play that one.
👍👍🤣😂
I frikkin’ love this story!
He seems like good husband material for young ladies in the market. A husband who can and will protect you ... priceless!
“ he suddenly heard loud banging coming from inside the restaurant, the KTLA reported.”
Interesting story but could this be written more stupidly?
No.
Never bring a pointed stick to a spatula fight.
Woman looked almost as crazy as the Lindsey Clancy supporters.
Somebody forgot the pickles again?
Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I’ll tell you something my lad. When you’re walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...
Ha!
Thanks.
(I have never followed the sponge bob phenomenon… but it’s big!)
If you’ve never watched SpongeBob give it a try. Before you know it you’ll have many belly laughs.
BTW, the older episodes are the best.
