"Mr Costa, 49, and his wife Christina, 48, were asleep when the men, who were armed with two pistols, broke in at around 3.30am.
Police commissioner Mariano Zarate said: 'In a moment when the attackers were not paying attention, the house owner took a samurai sword and defended himself, injuring the attackers and making them run away...
...Bleeding heavily, the driver lost control of the vehicle and hit a stationary car forcing all four to go to hospital for emergency treatment.

Police initially arrested two men and one woman, but another man who hid was forced to come back to hospital the next day due to serious sword injuries."

#1  People forget, for close quarters combat, pretty much nothing still beats a sword. They do not inflict knife wounds and a slash even if it doesn't hit bone can cause massive bleeding. They can stab deep enough to hit organs with ease and cut off limbs as well.
