California Man’s Hand Cut Off In Sword Attack

A sword-wielding homeless suspect chopped off a man’s hand in Riverside in a gruesome incident on Saturday night.

Law enforcement officials became aware of the medieval-like dismemberment after multiple residents called 911 to report a severed hand lying on the sidewalk in a downtown neighborhood at approximately 10:30 p.m.

Shortly thereafter, a handless person sought medical assistance at a local hospital, revealing to doctors that the inflicted injury was a result of an encounter with an individual who was wielding a sword, per the police’s account.
