Florida man arrested for threatening to behead girlfriend with a Samurai sword; fought with police
A Hollywood man who badly beat his girlfriend and threatened to cut her head off with a Samurai sword attacked two officers who arrested him, authorities said.
Francisco Miranda, 53, is facing several charges including aggravated battery, aggravated assault and aggravated battery on a police officer, firefighter or EMT after his arrest Thursday, according to a Hollywood Police arrest report.
Miranda remained behind bars on $183,000 bond Friday, jail records showed. It was unknown if he's hired an attorney.
According to the report, Miranda and his girlfriend got into an argument at his home on N. Dixie Highway and he started punching her, then picked up the sword, which was still in its sheath, and started to hit her in the head with it.
Miranda began repeatedly hitting her in the head with a brick, then pulled the sword out of the sheath and told her he was going to cut her head off, the report said.
