Crazed Samurai Sword-Wielding Man Living in ‘Low-Income Housing’ Complex in Venice Hacks Man’s Arm in Grisly Scene (PHOTO)

Meanwhile, in the Democrat hellhole of California…

A crazed Samurai sword-wielding man who was residing in a ‘low-income housing’ unit in Venice Beach, California, slashed a victim’s arm so badly that it was squirting blood everywhere.

Venice Beach has turned into a crime-riddled, drug-infested tent city sh*t hole under Democrat leadership.

The Los Angeles seaside city was once a world-famous tourist hot spot known for its boardwalk and outdoor gym, “Muscle Beach.”

Now it’s a 3rd-world hellhole.

On Thursday evening, the suspect, identified by The New York Post as a white man in his late 20s named Justin Tucker, retrieved a large sword from his housing unit and slashed a man’s arm after he hit him up for drugs.

Justin Tucker lives in a low-income housing complex at 720 Rose Avenue.

Neighbors posted a wanted poster with Justin Tucker’s photo with a warning, “Do not approach him.”

“You may be aware that there was an incident in front of Rose Apartments this evening,” the wanted poster said, according to The New York Post.

“Unfortunately, our neighbor Justin Tucker was involved,” the poster said. “He is suspected to be armed and dangerous.”

As of Friday evening, Justin Tucker still had not been taken into custody.

Photos from the crime scene show huge pools of blood near the low-income housing complex.

The victim was rushed to a local hospital in serious condition.

The New York Post reported:

A vicious Venice resident is on the run after he allegedly used a samurai sword to nearly hack off another man’s arm, leaving a bloody scene and shocking neighbors.

The psychotic sword fighter allegedly used a 16-inch samurai blade to assault a 27-year-old victim on the street in front of a low-income housing complex at 720 Rose Ave. on Thursday around 6:30 p.m., according to the police and fire officials.

The attacker was identified as 720 Rose Ave. resident Justin Tucker by the building’s management, nonprofit Venice Housing Corporation, which provides low-income housing and job services to the neighborhood’s inhabitants.

Police would not confirm Tucker as a suspect in the attack. He is described as a white man in his late 20’s, with a short haircut.

Two witnesses said the man identified as Tucker had just returned to 720 Rose Ave. from a shopping trip to a nearby Smart and Final when he was accosted by a man in front of the building who asked Tucker if he had any drugs.

Crime spiked in Venice during the Covid pandemic.

A dead body was found in one of the tents lining the Venice Boardwalk in 2021.

According to LAPD, the victim died from blunt force trauma to the head.

California prides itself for being a magnet for these sorts of lunnies. They get what they ask for.

I suspect crazed sword attacker, Justin Tucker, had a fentanyl habit causing damage to his impulse controlling brain cells.
