    A man attending a movie in a US cinema has been stabbed after asking a woman to turn off he phone
    A man attending a movie in a US cinema has been stabbed after asking a woman to turn off he phone.

    The man was stabbed in the neck with a meat thermometer after tapping the woman on the shoulder to ask her to desist from making and receiving calls.

    The incident, which happened at a cinema in Lancaster, Los Angeles, turned nasty when the man was apparently attacked by the woman's boyfriend.

    Witnesses have said the woman was talking at the start of the film, which is when the altercation took place.

    The man needed hospitilisation after it had been determined he had been stabbed, while two other people who tried to defend him were also injured.

    The assailants managed to escape.

    Movie-goer stabbed at start of show

    What is wrong with some people - cellphene users can be the most annoying, dumb people in the world. Who was she talking to that caused this sort of reaction - her social worker? Hope they find these people & lock them up for a very long time.

    rules without enforcement

    There are some people who think of one-self only. Cell phone talk and loudly too also happens in Malaysia. The question is don’t the cinema people take action ? It is risky for us which may up up like the story.

    Not a knife, but a meat thermometer. Being reported this way in local LA news sites.
