A Jersey City woman was arrested early yesterday after she tried to slash another woman with a three-foot-long Samurai sword, police said.

Thanh T. Huynh, 39, from Wales Avenue, was charged with aggravated assault, possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and unlawful posession of a weapon, reports said.

The arrest was the culmination of a bizarre set of events that started with an off-duty cop spotting a man urinating against a tree, Jersey City Police Lt. Edgar Martinez said...

5. With a three foot sword, how do you fail to slash someone?

Seems like it would be pretty easy... :shrug:

Pretty amusing double-whammy on the charges, too: "possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes and unlawful posession of a weapon"
