Sword fight breaks out at hardware store
EFLA dispute over a pushcart escalated into a bloody battle when two men engaged in a "sword fight" using two-by-fours inside Home Depot, police said. On guard! You vermin scum. How dareth you betroth my cart. Harkin there, say, ah, are those sixteen penny nails in your pocket? One of the combatants required hospital treatment after the fight, which broke out around 10:30 a.m. Sunday at the Cumberland Mall store. Why, how come? Larry Bostic, 52, of West Park Avenue received eight stitches in his chin, police said. One of his teeth was knocked out and another tooth was cracked. That should do it. I must say, though, that I find the two-by-four a tad cumbersome. They may want to work in rattan, next time. Police arrested Bostic and Wei Sun, 45, of Upper Darby, Pa., on assault charges. Bostic told police he asked a Home Depot employee for a pushcart so that he could load some two-by-fours. The employee told him to take a cart that contained some wallboard because it had been in an aisle for a while, according to police. And, the wallboard would look dashing on the two-by-fours. As Bostic began to load his lumber, however, Sun appeared and demanded the cart back, police said. Witnesses said both men then swung their fists at each other but missed. Two men fighting over a shopping cart. How gay. Two men sword fighting...get a room guys. Then each grabbed a two-by-four and began a sword fight, police said. It ended when Sun threw his wooden board at Bostic, hitting him in the chin, witnesses told police. Thus restoring the original luster to an otherwise charming atmosphere of drinks and merriment.
