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.

6. "Prohibited weapons"

A large and vague category , universally applied as leverage in plea bargaining , and largely ignored by self defense advocates. But not forgotten .

After you loose your pistol , all you are left with is garden tools .

7. I wonder how he was "put into restraints" - seems like it would hard to handcuff

someone with a minimally attached hand. Cuff his elbows or ankles, perhaps? Doesn't sound like a situation that would be covered in training...

8. Thumb cuffs

"This might hurt a bit ".
