A man was arrested Sunday after attacking a homeowner with a pitchfork during a burglary, according to the Seattle Police Department.
According to police, the man had gone into the home when no one was there.
As the 71-year-old homeowner arrived home, he noticed items were not where they were supposed to be and a kitchen window had been shattered.
Then the homeowner found a man standing in his living room.
The pair fought, where at one point the man held the homeowner to the floor and attempted to stab him with a pitchfork.
The homeowner was able to get away, running to his room to get a gun.
The man chased after the homeowner, tackling him as he attempted to take his gun.
When the homeowner attempted to shoot the man, his gun jammed, so he grabbed a samurai sword and stabbed the man.
After the stabbing, the man ran outside where he was later arrested by police.
The homeowner suffered non-life-threatening injuries to his face and torso.
Looks like we need common sense samurai sword controls.
