Non gun defence of home in Fairbanks AK.

FAIRBANKS — A Fairbanks woman nearly severed a man’s hand with a sword early Saturday morning as he was trying to break into her bedroom, according to Fairbanks police.
Police received a 911 call about 3:30 a.m. Saturday regarding a burglary in progress at a home in the Monroe Subdivison near Minnie Street. When officers got to the home, they found a trail of blood leading through house's kitchen and into its living room.
“We located a subject sitting on an exercise bike with his left hand barely hanging on and bleeding steadily from his injury,” Police Sgt. Kurt Lockwood said.
