BROKEN ARROW, Okla., Oct. 12 (UPI) -- Police in Oklahoma said they arrested a man who allegedly beat his roommate with a harmonica, causing cuts to his face and elsewhere on his head.

Investigators allege Decai Liu, 52, burst into the bathroom of his Broken Arrow home Oct. 4 while his roommate was preparing for work and hit him on the head with a harmonica, the Tulsa (Okla.) World reported Monday.

Police said the roommate was covered in blood when they arrived and Liu resisted arrest by head-butting an officer. Liu was subdued by officers with pepper spray, police said.

Liu's roommate told investigators he did not know what set off the attack.

The suspect was charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, resisting an officer and assaulting an officer, court records showed. He held at the Tulsa Jail in lieu of $6,500 bail.
