Sword Fight Ensues After South Carolina Break-In

Friday, March 02, 2007

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.

With a name like that, he has to be good with swords!

"Hello, my name is Louis Delgado Hernandez, you broke into my apartment, prepare to be cut on the arm."

Ahhh, what type of swords? A disappointing lack of information.

Still, nice to know some people keep up their blade-work.

LOL, that's great.

Very interesting, Lemur, thanks. I am very curious to know what swords were used, though.
