An elderly man and his wife were resting at home around 3:30pm in Cordoba Province Argentina. (Siesta time.) Several men broke into their home through a window, where they violently beat them. The situation escalated quickly to the point where the home invaders began to separate the husband and wife – they were taking her to a different room.
The husband began to panic and he reached for a decorative Japanese katana sword that was hanging on their wall, and started slashing the robbers in self defense. The horrified and bleeding robbers fled to a car where an accomplice was waiting and they sped away. Shortly thereafter the getaway driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a pole on the side of the road. Finally when the police showed up, they discovered the crashed car and followed the trail of blood to where the home invaders were hiding and eventually arrested them.
A fourth person was arrested when they showed up at a hospital for treatment for cuts to the forearms, and that a woman was also arrested (perhaps as an accomplice).
The Homeowners have been married and living together for over 40 years.
