Des Moines Police, Firefighters Respond To Plunger Attack At Hotel

(Des Moines, IA) -- A fire alarm at a downtown hotel this weekend turned out to be a little more than a fire alarm.

Police were called to help after a man reportedly attacked firefighters on the 20th floor of the Marriott with a plunger.

Callers to 9-1-1 Friday night reported the man had pulled the fire alarm, and was also attacking people in the hallway with the plunger.
