Police in Mexico have "arrested" a Chucky doll and its owner for terrorising members of the public, said Metro. The suspect is reported to have used the life-sized puppet to brandish a knife and demand cash from locals in Monclava, a city in the northern state of Coahuila. Officers took both the man and the doll, whose character was popularised in the 1988 horror film "Child's Play", to the local station, where the doll and its owner were handcuffed and had their mug shots taken.
