GRAPHIC VIDEO: Officer Severely Injured by Samurai Sword During Shocking Attack in American Suburb
A quiet American neighborhood turned into a scene straight out of a nightmare when a routine police call escalated into a vicious sword attack, leaving one officer with his hand sliced open.
The incident took place on April 30, 2024, when officers responded to reports of a disturbance behind a row of suburban garages. Bodycam footage—now going viral—captures the exact moment things spiraled out of control.
In the video, a man in a yellow hoodie can be seen lunging at officers with a Samurai sword, swinging the blade with terrifying speed and force. One officer’s hand is visibly slashed open, prompting immediate screams and chaos.
Another officer quickly draws his taser, aiming to subdue the suspect, while others rush in to secure the scene. The injured officer was immediately evacuated and rushed to the hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery to save function in his hand.
The attacker was taken into custody on multiple felony charges, including attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, assault with a deadly weapon, and resisting arrest with violence.
Local police departments across the U.S. have expressed outrage, saying this shocking attack highlights the growing dangers officers face on a daily basis — and reignites calls for stricter control of exotic weapons being purchased online.
A police spokesperson stated:
“This could’ve easily been a funeral. These kinds of weapons have no place on our streets.”
