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.

How did he do?
This had to be at China Lake Naval Weapons Center at Ridgecrest.
He was smoking a cigarette on federal property.
Bad things happen.
Did his speech match the movements of his lips?
loooooooool (Don’t ninjas cover their faces?)
For any of you would be heros out there, this was the correct tactic to react to a person suddenly appearing in front of you wielding a sword. Get as much distance and as many obstacles in between you and that person. Much better to get teased at the motor pool than staying to fight and risking a lucky slash catching an artery or kidney.
So the army called 911????
I’m so disappointed
If the staff sergeant had been thinking on his feet he should have replied ...
"Yes, I've been waiting here to escort you to them."
Is there a mosque nearby?

...because you never know when you might need to defend yourself against an unexpected ninja attack!
;^)
If only these soldiers had guns. I’ve heard they used to, in the long ago time.
BTTT!!!
These were “special ops”? I know damn well some I knew could easily kill this lunatic or at the very least immobilize with ease. Well,that was the old days I guess.
