The incident occurred just before 2:30 a.m. near 32nd Avenue and Noriega Street. The victim, who has also not been named by police, was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries. The suspect was reportedly arrested at the scene. On December 21, an Oklahoma man was shot and killed by Ponca City police after brandishing a sword at officers as they approached, following a confrontation with another man.
“It looked like a Katana, like something you’d see in Ninja Turtles,” a witness named Joel Kassen told local station FOX 25.
Earlier this month, a New York man was sentenced to ten years in prison for attempted murder after severing a man’s hand at the wrist using a double-bladed “medieval style” sword, following an argument.
