Healthwatch: A Wannabe Ninja in Seattle

Police: Would-be ninja impaled by metal fence
This never would've happened to Bruce Lee.
Seattle police say an intoxicated 25-year-old man, who told officers
he believed he was a ninja, was impaled on a metal spike Monday night
after a failed attempt to jump a 5-foot fence.
Around 11:15 p.m., officers responded to the 600 block of Seventh
Avenue after a 41-year-old man called police to say he had been
assaulted, said police spokeswoman Renee Witt. Officers arrived and
found the impaled would-be ninja, Witt said.
It turns out the older man, who was heavily intoxicated, tried to go
into a sports bar in the 600 block of King Street, Witt said. The
younger man, who isn't a bar employee, barred the man from going
inside-- and an argument between the two men escalated into a fight.
At one point, the men chased each other in the street, she said.
In an attempt to get away, the younger man "thought he'd basically be
able to jump over this fence, and he didn't quite make it," Witt said.
As a police account of the incident notes, "Clearly he was
overconfident in his abilities." and that alcohol likely played a
role.
That's when the older man called police to say he'd been assaulted.
As police arrived to search for a suspect, one officer heard the 25-
year-old's screams and found him stuck on the fence with the metal
spike jutting out from his buttock, Witt said. The man was bleeding
profusely.
He was taken to Harborview Medical Center, she said. Questioned at the
hospital, the man told police he believed he was a ninja.
Since the two men "were in the middle of the street, chasing each
other around," Witt said officers determined neither man would be
arrested on suspicion of assault.

So two wrongs does make a right?
