DALLAS -- An Irving man said he was forced to defend himself against two men who broke into his apartment Tuesday.

The man told police when the attackers pulled a gun, he pulled out his Samurai sword.


Investigators said a visitor to an apartment was on the terrace when he was approached by two men.

One of the men pulled out a handgun and forced the man into the apartment and attempted a robbery, police said. When they didn't get any money, they allegedly pistol whiped the man an knocked him to the ground.

The apartment's tenant heard the noise and ran in from a back room.

Officers said the tenant used a Samurai sword and 10-inch knives as weapons, while one of the suspects fired several gunshots.

Police said all four men were injured from fighting with deadly weapons.

One of the suspects, a 20-year-old Dallas man, suffered severe lacerations and stab wounds to his neck and upper body, and is clinging to life, police said.

You can actually fight with a telephone. I've seen a martial artist use the phone as one of his fighting weapons, so it is do-able and good for more than just dialing and talking.

I believe it was HardHeadJarHead who may have seen a competitive form in a tournament of an artist using a telephone. I'll have to do a search on one of the old threads (probably in the Self Defense forum) to locate that post....
