Police Say Alcohol Likely Played Role

SEATTLE -- Seattle police say a man who thought he was ninja was impaled on a metal fence when he tried to leap over it.

An officer who was looking for an assault victim nearby Monday night heard the man screaming for help.

Police supported him to prevent further injuries until medics arrived and took him to a hospital, where he was in serious condition in intensive care on Tuesday.

Police spokeswoman Renee Witt wrote in a department Web site posting that officers thought the man might have been involved in the reported assault, but he insisted he was just a ninja trying to clear a 4- to 5-foot-tall fence.

Witt says the man was "overconfident in his abilities," and that alcohol likely played a role.

Yes a very unfortunate ending, but at least a Darwin Award candidate.

“An officer who was looking for an assault victim nearby Monday night heard the man screaming for help.”

Pretty upfront about their police brutality...

No way. "Hey, man, I'm a ninja (hic!) - no, no kidding, a real ninja. Wanna see me jump that there fence?"

He was obviously preparing for G4’s American Ninja Warrior challenge. Surely this was a replica of the course he built in his own back yard. /s

And a pretty obliging Would-Be Ninja, too.

Folks is pretty polite up in Seattle ... when they're not aggressively avoiding eye contact.

I would have grilled him a while longer. He was already skewered.

Jumping over a sharp fence looked so much easier when I tried to do it in a video game.
