Two hurt in mock light sabre duel

Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.

Remember, kids…light sabres cannot really exist, and imitating what you see in movies can hurt or kill you and those you love.

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle!
