Konrad Alden Bass, 31, told court he climbed onto a red BMW, stabbed it and slashed its tyres – because he thought it was a dragon.

He had taken an "immense amount of drugs", according to an attorney, including ecstasy, LSD, and cannabis.

Cops raced to the scene after the terrified driver and her daughter, 16, managed to drive off.

Bass, who has bipolar disorder, was charged with causing almost £2,600 worth of damage to the car and obstructing traffic.

Before the attack he went clubbing with friends – but they "abandoned" him during the night, he said.

So he started walking through traffic wearing elf ears, carrying a wooden cross and wielding a sword.

He told various people – including cops and his lawyer – he was Jesus, the "emperor of the world" and rock star.

Bass, who had no previous criminal convictions, told court he "wasn't trying to hurt anyone".

A judge in Multnomah County, Oregon told him to stay away from street drugs and banned him from owning weapons.

Bass said apologise for "causing this whole mess and wasting everyone's time".

He said: "I hope you all learned a lot. I learned a lot myself."
