Man Punches Attacker With His Severed Hand

A man who just saw his hand chopped off with a samurai sword punched his attacker in the face with the bloody stump, an Irish court heard yesterday.

Charles Russell plead guilty to intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Peter Rogers at The Deputy Mayor Pub Jan. 13, 2008.

Detective Garda Tony Gleeson told the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court that Russell severed Rogers' hand at the wrist with the first swing of a samurai sword, and the hand fell to the ground, the Independent reported.

In shock, Rogers didn't notice the loss of his hand, and at one point in the struggle punched Russell in the face with the stump of his arm.

Doctors have concluded that Rogers has made some progress but that it is unlikely he will make a full recovery, the Independent reported.
