A few times over the years I've posted bits and pieces of articles I've found in the news somehow related to knives. I've decided to begin a thread devoted to the subject of knives in the news. This is intended to be a lighthearted thread... we'll see if it goes anywhere.
From today's Boston Globe:
From today's Boston Globe:
A 62-year-old man was arrested in Cambridge late Wednesday after he got into a fight last week and slashed a 60-year-old man’s neck with a jackknife at a tai chi class, police said.
“A male victim sustained a minor injury to the back of their neck as a result of a male suspect reportedly stabbing or slashing the victim with what was believed to be a jackknife following an altercation between the two individuals at a fitness class,” said Jeremy Warnick, a Cambridge police spokesman.
I find it interesting to note that the headline of this article, "Man, 62, arrested after allegedly slashing another man’s neck during Cambridge tai chi class," describes an attack resulting in a minor injury as "slashing another man's neck."“A male victim sustained a minor injury to the back of their neck as a result of a male suspect reportedly stabbing or slashing the victim with what was believed to be a jackknife following an altercation between the two individuals at a fitness class,” said Jeremy Warnick, a Cambridge police spokesman.
