A sword-wielding man dressed as a ninja attacked a staff sergeant and a special ops soldier after mysteriously appearing at an desert airfield.
The strange incident took place at 1 a.m. on September 18 at an airfield in the Mojave Desert, according to a screengrab of what appears to be a military incident report shared on Instagram and Reddit Wednesday, Stars and Stripes reported.
Some details from the report, which was initially shared by Instagram meme page 'Daddy SOARbucks before appearing on Reddit, were later corroborated by Ridgecrest Police Department logs that indicated two U.S. Army soldiers needed stitches after the incident.
According to the apparent incident report, an unnamed staff sergeant was smoking a cigarette outside an administrative building at Inyokern Airport, when an 'unknown person wearing full ninja garb' armed with a curved sword appeared.
The stranger asked him, 'Do you know who I am?' and 'Do you know where my family is?' to which the staff sergeant replied, 'no.'
Immediately, the man in ninja garb slashed the staff sergeant with his sword 'striking his phone and his knee and leg,' the incident report said.
The staff sergeant fled, jumping a fence and locking himself in a building on the airfield. He called 911.
At that point the man dressed as a ninja began kicking and punching doors and windows. A few minutes later, he threw a block of asphalt through a building window, striking a captain inside, the report alleged.
The 'ninja' then fled, but was later arrested elsewhere by officers.

The article says Inyokern Airport. Hubby worked out there for years. Kern County Firefighter. China Lake used to do all kind of flights/drills at the airport in Inyokern. Hubby and his crew were always there as ‘stand by’. Unless things have changed.....
Thanks for the info. I’ve been to Inyokern airport a few times myself.
