Big Knife, Big Problem
“A man who tried to scare off intruders by waving a samurai sword was stabbed with his own weapon. The 65-year-old took the sword from a display in his living room and waved it at three youths who were in the front garden of his flat in east London. When he looked outside again, the garden was empty but he then found two youths on the landing outside his bedroom. He shouted at them to leave but an assault followed during which one of the intruders stabbed him with the sword before they ran off taking the weapon with them.”
