Man Arrested after Threatening Crowd with Sword

LUFKIN — An Angelina College student turned himself in Wednesday evening after admittedly launching a samurai sword attack on a group of fellow students hours earlier. According to KETK, James Martin, 21, of Pineland pulled up next to the group sitting at a picnic table outside the Baptist Student Union, jumped out of his car with the sword and began cursing at them around 2:30. Martin then began flailing the sword around, striking the picnic table several times and hit a girl in leg. He faces a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a third-degree felony charge of prohibited weapon.
