Robot Apocalypse Department

Errrm, right on the heels of a decent amount of ranting from me and joking about autonomous kill bots here comes a report of man in Sweden who was viciously attacked by a malfunctioning factory robot.

Apparently it went down like this:

"The robot suddenly came to life and grabbed a tight hold of the victim's head. The man succeeded in defending himself but not before suffering serious injuries.

'The man was very lucky. He broke four ribs and came close to losing his life,' said [public prosecutor] Leif Johansson. "

Well, this being the case, allow me to be the first to welcome our new metallic overlords...

The Local has the full story.

And we all know what happens next (<-- video link).
