Buffalo, N.Y. -- A Buffalo man told police he was robbed over the weekend with his own sword when he let a stranger into his home to use the bathroom.



The man let a woman he did not know into his home to use the bathroom at about 1 p.m. on Saturday. He had left a sword he owned in plain sight, police said, according to The Buffalo News.



As the woman was leaving, she picked up the sword and threatened to hurt the man if he didn't hand over his wallet, the man told police, according to the News. The woman then shoved the man to the ground and took his wallet.



She dropped the sword and ran off, according to the News. The man's wallet contained cash, his driver's license, bank card, Social Security card and other items.
