ALEXANDRIA, Minn. - When Alexandria police responded to a call about a fight at a local business Wednesday, they found an employee holding a male to the ground who was wearing nothing but a button-up shirt, shoes, and carrying a samurai sword in a sheath.
Witnesses at the scene said the man threatened to kill a store employee and was somewhat disgruntled, but he never brandished the sword in a threatening manner.
The employee held the man down until the police, who originally thought it was only going to a simple break up of a fight, arrived.
The suspect is in custody and formal charges are pending.
