BRISBANE, Australia -- Two assailants broke into a man's trailer and attacked him with a swordfish snout in eastern Australia early Wednesday, leaving the victim with cuts to his arms, back and hands, police said.

The victim, claimed the two suspects assaulted him with the serrated, sword-like bill during a home invasion in the eastern city of Bundaberg, Queensland state police said.

Paramedics treated the man for his injuries.

Characterized by their long, sharp snouts, swordfish are predatory fish that can grow up to 13 feet long.

lol this is so funny. I want to know where they got the snout from. I think one of them is either a fisherman or works at a fish shop

There are recorded incidents where a hooked marlin or sailfish jumps into the sportfishing boat, and impaling the angler in the chest or shoulder...

No one has been killed...yet.

Something tells me they weren't very good thieves if all they could find to break into a home with was a fish.
