Hmmm: They must be Polish guys, the story doesn't mention nationality

Sword Fight Ensues After South Carolina Break-In (FoxNews)
HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C —
A man toting a 3-foot sword apparently met his match when he broke into his ex-girlfriend's apartment: The woman's roommate grabbed a sword of his own and sliced the intruder, police said.
The roommate, a sword collector, fended off the ex-boyfriend, who was cut on the arm, police said.
Elvis Javier Polanco, 18, was treated at a hospital and charged with burglary and aggravated assault, Beaufort County sheriff's Capt. Toby McSwain said. He said Polanco broke a window and climbed on his friend's shoulders to get into the apartment.
The roommate, Louis Delgado Hernandez, disarmed the intruder while the woman called police, McSwain said.

Sounds like Elvis must have been a resident at Heartbreak Hotel.

Not to perpetuate stereotypes, but if this occurred in Hilton Head SC, I wonder if these guys belonged to a country club, or did they work at the country club.

Young Elvis is just lucky he got out of there with some scratches. This same kind of scenario was played out in Rockford about a month ago; unfortunately the assailant in that situation was met with 2 shotgun blasts. He was carrying a handgun and had threatened to kill his former girlfriend and her new live-in boyfriend.
