Nothing like a good sword fight between friends

[Noner]

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C —  A man toting a 3-foot sword apparently met his match when he broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment: The woman's roommate grabbed a sword of his own and sliced the intruder, police said.

The roommate, a sword collector, fended off the ex-boyfriend, who was cut on the arm, police said.

Elvis Javier Polanco, 18, was treated at a hospital and charged with burglary and aggravated assault, Beaufort County sheriff's Capt. Toby McSwain said. He said Polanco broke a window and climbed on his friend's shoulders to get into the apartment.

The roommate, Louis Delgado Hernandez, disarmed the intruder while the woman called police, McSwain said.

I too have swords, but this guy was lucky.  Had it been my house, the .45 would have been grabbed instead of the sword.

I guess that guy wasn't too sharp for breaking in, in the first place.

Imagine that scene, an intruder and resident dueling it out old school style, sword to sword. Twilight Zone material no doubt. Maybe when he is released he will go back with some numbchucks!
