SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - A Sioux Falls man faces aggravated assault charges after using a machete to push what he believed was an intruder out of his home.
Officer Sam Clemens says the girlfriend of 56-year-old Terrance Joseph Schaefer called the victim for a ride.
Schaefer told police that the victim, who he knows, walked into the home and he produced the machete to get him out. Schaefer grabbed the handle and the blade with both hands, severely cutting his hand.
Clemens says the 47-year-old victim suffered a five inch cut to his stomach as Schaefer pushed him out.
Schaefer required medical attention but the victim didn’t.
