A neighborhood argument in Cape Coral turned cinematic Wednesday evening when, police say, a 41-year-old man pulled a roughly three-foot sword from his truck, threatened a neighbor, then took off in a white Chevrolet pickup before officers tracked him down. Cape Coral police say the man was later arrested and the sword was seized and booked into evidence.
Officers were first called just before 7 p.m. to the 1800 block of Everest Parkway, where they identified the suspect as Raul Elosegui Fernandez, 41, according to CBS Miami. The outlet reports Fernandez allegedly grabbed a tan-handled sword with a blue metal blade about three feet long from his truck, raised it over his shoulder, and walked toward the victim while making threats.

According to the department, the weapon was seized as evidence and Fernandez was booked on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
