In a scene reminiscent of a "Tom and Jerry" cartoon, a man who tried to ****** another man with a chain saw was whacked in the head with a bat and got arrested by police.

According to Fredericksburg.com, the incident happened late Monday night in Springfield, in Stafford County, Va.
Sheriff Maj. David Decatur says Douglas Edward Turner went banging on the "victim's" door just before midnight demanding that he come outside. When the man opened his door, Turner came at him with a chain saw. Turner cut up a handrail but did not injure the victim, who ran back inside and locked the door, police said.
Police say Turner gained access to the house, chain saw still spinning, prompting the other man to call police.
While waiting, authorities said, the victim grabbed an aluminum baseball bat and whacked Turner over the head and then in the stomach. Turner then got into his truck and fled the scene, just before police arrived.
Police found him a short time later. He is now charged with two counts of attempted malicious wounding, breaking and entering, and destruction of property. Police say the whole argument appears to be over a woman.
