Police attributed a sword injury to an accident Sunday afternoon.

According to a police report, two brothers who share an apartment in the 1600 block of East McKinney Street were “play fighting” about 3 p.m. One brother had a sword and the other brother had a bathroom plunger.

One brother said he lunged with the plunger and it suctioned to the stomach of his brother, who was swinging the sword. In his efforts to remove his plunger from his brother’s stomach, he said he accidentally impaled himself on his brother’s sword.

He was treated for a cut that was not life-threatening at a hospital emergency room.
