A domestic dispute in Katy, TX., erupted into sword and flower pot play after Eugene Thompson's girlfriend called her estranged husband to help her with the verbal argument she was having with Thompson.
The ex-husband showed up at the residence and the girlfriend let him inside, then according to the report from Click2Houston, Thompson fled to a back bedroom and told the man to leave the house, but he refused and started charging at him. That's when Thompson says he grabbed his replica master sword from 'The Legend of Zelda.'
"I heard him heading to the bedroom where I was, so I jumped in the closet and I grabbed one of my replica swords, and I pulled it out and stood at the doorway, and he was coming down the hallway at me while I was yelling, 'Go away, you don't live here' and he just walked right into the point of the sword, I don't know if he thought it was a toy," said Thompson.
Thompson managed to get the ex out of the house, but he broke through the front-door and ran back inside.
The two struggled over the sword which lead to the ex being stabbed again - this time in the leg. The ex grabbed a flower pot and smashed it over Thompson's head - effectively ending the altercation.
Deputies finally arrived and took the ex-husband to an area hospital, he is listed in serious condition. Thompson received stitches to his head at another hospital and then released. Authorities are still deciding what charges, if any will be filed..... Level up!
