Ontario woman goes on rampage with samurai sword

Halton regional police said the rampage started at about 8:45 p.m. Sunday, when a woman who was arguing with her 26-year-old boyfriend grabbed a samurai sword he had on display in his apartment and sliced him on the shoulder, arm and side of the head.

The man's brother, who was also in the apartment, ordered the woman to leave, and she complied.But that apparently did little to quell her fury.

Still wielding the sword, the woman then went to a gas station across the street and confronted a man — an off-duty firefighter — who was filling up his vehicle.

This is both terrible and strangely amusing. You can almost hear the story told at the bar to his friends, "So, my ex-girlfriend is a crazed samurai ninja that duels with firefighters at gas stations. Too bad about the crazed part."

I always thought a samurai sword would be a great thing to have hanging on the wall in case of self-defense and home invasion. Now, I'm not so sure.

    I did take karate. Worried? :)

    He's probably not worried S. The fact we have to weigh you down with cinder blocks on gusty days likely eases his mind. Then again, with pumping iron I think I might start to worry now, but I'll huff and I'll puff ...

    Maybe the woman was just ticked at the high gas prices and had to fill up her SUV before leaving town.
