Something fishy with the choice of weapon...

from metro.co.uk

Disregarding the old adage 'never bring a fish to a sword fight', two assailants broke into a man's trailer and attacked him with a swordfish snout in eastern Australia early Wednesday, leaving the victim with cuts to his arms, back and hands, police said.

The victim, who was not identified, claimed the two suspects broke into his home in the eastern city of Bundaberg, Queensland. They then proceeded to assault him with the serrated, sword-like bill, state police said.

Paramedics treated the man for his injuries.
