Sword fight ensues after S.C. break-in - Yahoo! News

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 believe I can safely say this wasn't our katana wielding friend due to the age.

However, what are the chances of breaking into someones house with a sword, only to come across a sword collector who, from the sounds of it, knows what he is doing with sword?
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

That chick has a thing for dudes with swords. A sword fight was inevitable.

I sat on the jury for a trial that involved an attack with a samurai sword. Dude lived in extremely low rent housing, got drunk and confronted some guy in front of his trailer around 3 AM. End result was that the guy goes away, comes back a minute later with a sword and slices the dude's hand open. Dude sued the trailer park for damages (and lost).
