Woman arrested for attempted sword attack

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (UPI) -- New Jersey police said an incident that started with a public urination summons ended with a woman attempting to attack another woman with a samurai sword.

Jersey City Police Lt. Edgar Martinez said an off-duty officer spotted a man urinating on a tree at about 1 a.m. Sunday and six people emerged from a house where a party was taking place to argue with the officer while he was writing the man a summons, The Jersey Journal, Jersey City, reported Monday.

Investigators said Thanh Huynh, 39, emerged from the party during the argument and attempted to cut one of the women speaking with the officer with a three-foot-long samurai sword. Huynh was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and unlawful possession of a weapon.

Police said they do not know Huynh's motive for attacking the other woman.
