A man with a machete attacked two others this weekend at an apartment complex on Chihuahua Street. Gumaro Vasquez Davila and Gerardo Mendiola picked up an unidentified man and went to Vasquez Davilas apartment in the 2900 block of Chihuahua, according to the Laredo Police.
Vasquez Davila told investigators he went outside to his car, heard screaming and saw the man running toward him out of the apartment, according to Juan Rivera, a spokesman for the Laredo Police Department.
He fought the man off, receiving a small cut to the abdomen.
Mendiola sustained a serious cut to the face and was flown to San Antonio for treatment.
Police are looking for the suspect, a man in his early 20s, who is about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. He weighs about 135 pounds, has a dark complexion with a slim build and is believed to be from Honduras.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call police at (956) 795-2800.
Honduran ping!

When machetes are outlawed...
I'll bet real estate values there have decreased significantly over the past two decades.
"Gumaro Vasquez Davila and Gerardo Mendiola picked up an unidentified man and went to Vasquez Davilas apartment"
Let's see, here ... two guys out cruising around, and they pick up a third guy. Hmmm. Sounds like this unidentified Hispanic male with a machete was a little naive, and didn't understand what was really going on at first, lol. I still can't quite figure out how anyone conceals a machete, though.
There can be only One...
Laredo is booming!
Maybe he found it under Davilas bed?
Now, that's a thought. They certainly didn't say whose machete it was, did they?
Really?! Because of business opportunities created by the flow of illegals, or for some other reason?
Yes, we Americans have lost our abilities in machete weilding. Perhaps our new citizens can re-teach us.

The Laredo Port of Entry is the busiest and most heavily traversed land Port of Entry on
the Southwest border, handling approximately 6,000 commercial vehicles a day. Forty
percent of all Mexican exports cross into Laredo, Texas, where Interstate 35 connects
directly to Dallas, and from there throughout the United States. U.S. Border Patrol Chief
John Montoya describes this Port of Entry as the key ingress into the United States.
Its called a gateway city, not only into Mexico but into the United States as well.
The very conditions that make the Laredo Port of Entry so attractive to legitimate commerce
also make the city ideal for the illicit drug and human smuggling trade.
I carry a machete in my pickup. You never know when you might need to cut some brush.
Proof once again; GUN CONTROL WORKS!!
