Man Allegedly Assaults Roommate With Link's Master Sword

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

22-year-old Jeremy Tazruk was arrested in Anchorage, Alaska on Friday for allegedly stabbing a victim identified as "T.P." The reported incident allegedly involved a The Legend of Zelda replica sword and led to a campus-wide alert at the University of Alaska - Anchorage.

Police arrived at the scene around 12:30 a.m. on Friday morning. They found an adult male lying with a stab wound on a bicycle path near the university's campus. Anchorage Native Medical Center treated him for a puncture wound on the left side of his ribs.

According to charging documents, T.P was assaulting a female roommate, and he punched a bystander who tried to intervene. The documents state that T.P. punched Tazruk's fiance while she was holding her infant child. Tazruk then allegedly removed the replica sword from a nearby wall and used it to hit T.P. The edges of the blade were reportedly dull, but its tip was sharp. As the fight among the roommates continued, Tazruk allegedly picked up a kitchen knife and struck T.P. when he confronted Tazruk again.

Police charged Tazruk with fourth-degree assault and reckless endangerment. A local news report stated that Tazruk has been released from jail.

Without the arrows, he'll never finish him off.

Could have been worse.

At least it wasn't the Biggoron's Sword.

You know, I used to read these outdoorsman catalogues with tree stands, gun safes, and other stuff, & they often had novelty items in there, like the Master Sword.

I've had experience seeing these weapons at the eCommerce warehouse. Even "replicas" have sharp edges & it makes me wonder why people buy them in situations where boiled feelings can lead to dismemberment.

Reading it, the guy assaulted three people, including a woman holding a baby? That's nuts.

Hey, listen!

He should just blame the old guy who told him it's dangerous to go alone and gave him the damn thing.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

The kitchen knife was used because the Master Sword ran out of energy.

Please tell me he charged up first and did a spinning attack.

Most replica swords edges aren't sharpened. even this one says the edges were dull.

You aren't going to cut any limbs off with them.

The tip of this sword was sharp, which is only really good for stabbing.

A kitchen knife (which was also used) is much easier to handle than a f***ing sword when trying to do that and some of them like steak knives are serrated which would do more damage.

Should've stunned him with the boomerang first.

How many Rupees did he get?

[Brood Lone Wolf Funker]

Were clay pots broken at all?

The roommate said that to him and he got flashbacks and went crazy.

Well, at least it wasn’t a sexual assault. I thought it was going to be another one of those threads for a minute there.

When questioned, all the guy said was EYAHHHH, HUUUT, and SHAAAAAA!

Honestly, I expected this to be some dumb geek argument gone wrong.

I’m pleasantly surprised to find it was a dude who was defending his wife and son using the Master Swords. Props.

I like to think he didn’t get arrested for that reason, along with the obvious “defending from a complete scumbag” side of it.
