Two men suffered multiple wounds in a machete fight inside a North Toledo residence early yesterday. Both were taken to St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center for treatment, police said.
One of the men, Daniel Bensman, 40, was listed by the hospital in serious condition. No information was available from the hospital for the other man, Robert McKay, who is in his early 60s.
Both reside at 1932 North Ontario St., Toledo police Sgt. Deb Smith said.
Mr. Bensman was slashed across his chest and right arm, while Mr. McKay was cut on his neck and head, she said. A fight occurred in the North Ontario house about 6 a.m.
Two machetes were involved, but police received conflicting reports from both men and were still unsure as of yesterday afternoon exactly what provoked the incident or how events transpired, Sergeant Smith said.
The detective assigned to the case was not available for comment.
--------------------------------------
Two men fighting with machetes, and both lived.
Beyond just the "oh good lord" factor involved, is this good evidence against the effectiveness of wrist and elbow hacks, slashes, and "tap hitting", against at the most, heavy winter clothing?
Think about how much different the results would have been if good drop steps and shoulder swings had been used, assumeing that they hadn't.
