Man catcher A man catcher is an esoteric type of pole weapon which was used in Europe as late as the 18th century . It consisted of a pole mounted with a two pronged head . Each prong was semi - circular in shape with a spring - loaded " door " on the front . This created an effective valve that would allow the ring to pass around a man - sized cylinder and keep it trapped . The man catcher was used primarily to pull a person from horseback and drag them to the ground where they could be helplessly pinned . This is one of the few examples of non - lethal polearms . Man catchers played a role in the medieval custom of capturing noble opponents for ransom . The design assumes that the captured person wears armor to protect him against the metal prongs , which could easily hurt the neck of a person without armor . The man catcher was also used to trap and contain violent prisoners . In Papua New Guinea , a different weapon existed that was also identified as a man catcher . It consisted of a hoop attached to a spear - the hoop would be placed over an enemy ' s head to capture them , and then they could be speared in the back of the neck . Similarly , the Japanese sodegarami , tsukubō , and sasumata were used by Edo era law enforcement for apprehending suspects . However , the sasumata was most like a man catcher in usage as its forked head was designed to pin the suspect ' s neck , legs , arms , or joints against a wall or the ground . While other man catchers are no longer in use , the sasumata currently has modern variants that are semi - flexible , with padding , blunt endpoints , and other slightly modified geometry , designed to significantly reduce the chance of injury to restrained civilians . These variants are designed for use by non - soldiers — specifically , they are intended for use by a Japanese riot police mounted on horseback . In such a case , the mounted riot police would typically be arranged in formation line abreast , and would use a row of raised sasumata to hold back large crowds . These mounted riot police answer to the National Police Agency ( Japan ) . Since the outbreak of serious riots is uncommon in Japan , the modern sasumata is only used rarely . Nevertheless , the necessary training is kept up to date .

The battle took place at Econochaca , the site of a fortified encampment established in the summer of 1813 by Josiah Francis on a bluff above the Alabama River , in what is now Lowndes County , Alabama . It was one of three encampments erected by Red Stick Creeks that summer . In addition to the physical defenses , Creek prophets performed ceremonies at the site to create a spiritual barrier of protection . Hence the Creek name " Econochaca , " loosely translated as holy ground , but properly translated as sacred or beloved ground . History . Following the Battle of Burnt Corn and the subsequent Fort Mims massacre , General Ferdinand Claiborne , under the orders of General Thomas Flournoy , began attempting to round - up troops to attack the Red Stick Creeks . By early December he had amassed a force of roughly 1000 men , including 150 Choctaw warriors under their leader , Pushmataha . On December 22 , 1813 , Claiborne ' s force set up camp about south of Econochaca . Upon learning of this , the Creeks , under William Weatherford , evacuated women and children from settlement . On December 23 Claiborne attacked the defenses , killing between 20 and 30 Red Stick warriors and losing one man himself . Most of the Creeks escaped , with Weatherford riding his horse Arrow over the bluff and into the river while under fire . The U . S . forces then destroyed the encampment and the Creek supplies .
