Drink can prompts sword attack

A man in Texas was so upset at finding a can of soft drink in his room that he attacked two of his housemates with a sword.

Police say that Michael Angel Zamago became enraged at finding the can of soda in his room, believing it indicated that someone had entered without permission. As a result, he attacked his roommates with the sword, using it to stab holes in the door of a room where they had fled.

Both housemates received injuries in the attack - one being cut on the shoulder, the other under his right arm-pit.

Zamago was arrested on Friday, and now faces a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon related to family violence.
