A 40-year-old man in northern Ontario --armed with an axe -- came out worse for wear, after going up against-- a vacuum cleaner.
Police say a man in White River was trying to break down a door with the axe.
As the door gave way, a man in the home hurled a vacuum cleaner through the broken door.
The vacuum hit the assailant in the face -- breaking his nose.
The assailant is now in jail.
