A man named Hsu Chien was caught by police for wielding a sword at the 5th Avenue Apple flagship store in New York City when the Apple Pencil have been in short supply.
On Nov. 20, Friday, people who visited the Apple retail store at 5th Avenue were surprised to see that a man was screaming to people and scaring them off.
Chien went to the staircase of the Apple store began yelling and swinging a daunting samurai sword at the customers, according to BGR. Several witnesses noted that the sword-wielding man even demanded a new iPhone.
Other people revealed that Chien was shouting out numbers, as if there was a countdown for a bomb explosion.
Luckily, no person was injured since the 5th Avenue retail store's security officers were able to tackle and subdue Chien. The man was taken to custody by police and sent to a hospital to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
In addition, the samurai sword-swinging Chien is being charged with menacing people and being in criminal possession of a deadly weapon.
Meanwhile, Apple Pencils have been running out for consumers to acquire, according to CNN.
The stylus, which was announced for the fantastic yet expensive iPad Pro, was initially mocked by people. Even the Smart Keyboard made for the tablet was scoffed at by consumers since it was similar to the keyboard created for the Microsoft Surface tablets.
The Apple Pencil was officially released on Nov. 18, Wednesday, and is priced at $99 online, but some Apple Pencils are currently being sold for as much as $650 on e-commerce site eBay.
Moreover, the stylus was quickly sold out online, which forced people to wait about four to five weeks before having the opportunity to order an Apple Pencil.
Reportedly, several people have decided to steal Apple Pencils from demo stations, although Apple has yet to respond to the issue.
However, Tumblr co-founder Marco Amen revealed that scalpers on eBay only have a limited time to sell the Apple Pencils for more than the established retail price since Apple will be providing the devices in acceptable quantities soon.
Initially deemed as a surprise since the late Steve Jobs expressed disgust at styluses, the Apple Pencil was developed by the tech company to assist designers, artists and other people whenever they use the iPad Pro.
