WATERTOWN, New York (WWNY) - Court documents reveal the sword used to stab a Watertown man had a 27-inch blade.

Hunter Typhair was allegedly wounded during an argument late Tuesday morning at 25718 State Route 12 in the town of Pamelia.

According to court documents, the 21-year-old was stabbed in the ribcage.
