TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - Police say the man who used a sword in a fight was acting in self-defense.
No names have been released in this bizarre story.
It happened at 4th and Lincoln in Terre Haute over the weekend.
Police say a man in a car went inside his home to grab a wooden club and tried to hit another man in the leg who was parked nearby.
That man used a sword to block the club from hitting him again and that's how he sliced off three of the man's fingers with his sword.
Police say the man with the sword will not face any charges.
However, they are presenting the case to the prosecutor to see if the man with the wooden club could face charges.
