SEATTLE - Police say a suspected burglar attacked a homeowner with a pitchfork in Seattle's Beacon Hill neighborhood, but the man fought back with a samurai sword.
Officers were called around 1:30 p.m. Sunday to reports of a burglary at a home near Beacon Ave S and 11th Ave S.
Police located and detained two men on arrival—one with a sword and minor injuries, and the other with a stab wound to the torso.
In Seattle Police body camera video, released though a public records request, shows video of the homeowner explaining the situation to officers. He is heard saying, "My house has been burglarized. He was inside my house. He was inside my house and he attacked me with a pitchfork."
After investigating, the officer discovered that the suspect attempted the burglary while no one was home, but the 71-year-old homeowner came back mid-burglary.
