| Samurai Sword Wielding Vigilante Saves UK police |
| 2007-01-17 |
| A samurai sword wielding vigilante has come to the rescue of two Police officers when they were attacked by an armed gang in South Shields, England. A group of men had forced their way into a house and were ransacking the place when passing plain-clothes officers were alerted by a woman inside screaming. The criminals outnumbered them and were armed with a hammer, knives and chains and attacked the Police officers. As one of them stabbed at a Policeman with his knife, a mysterious do-gooder appeared from nowhere and attacked him with a samurai sword. One of the burglars began running away but was stopped by the stranger who struck him on the arm with the sword. Two of the criminals were arrested, but in true hero style the samurai disappeared before police could speak to him. A third man was arrested later and two more are still being hunted. Police are especially keen to trace the man with the sword who came to the aid of their officers, and have asked for anyone with information to call them. |

| #21 The man with the sword is described as being male, between 3 feet and 7 feet tall, weighing between 50 and 500 pounds, with hair and wearing clothes on some parts of his body. If you see see this man, please call your local weenies, I mean Police. |

| #16 > Two of the criminals were arrested, but in true hero style the samurai disappeared before police could speak to him. I hope the description the policemen involved give is a male tall black short caucasian female with a beard. I think most people know the "score", especially the police on the ground. |

| #11 Police are especially keen to trace the man with the sword who came to the aid of their officer. Why? To prosecute him? |

| #5 I would stay hidden and lose the sword. The armed citizen certainly would be persecuted. They already want ban swords in the UK buy the way. Can you believe that banning swords in the UK? You know you are a serf when you can't have a sword. |

| #2 in true hero style the samurai disappeared before police could speak to him. Smart. Given the current state of the criminal law in UK, he'd probably end up in jail---after paying compensation to the wounded perps. |
