A Saskatoon man says he will carry the scars of his mistake for the rest of his life after confronting two men who broke into his truck Thursday night.

“I really got pretty damn lucky if you want to look at it that way,” Kyle Toms told the Saskatoon StarPhoenix.

Around 10 p.m. Thursday, Toms left his friend’s house. As he approached his blue 2012 Ford F-150, he saw a man inside, he said.

“At that point I thought it was just him. As I came fully out of the house and he noticed me, he started getting out of my vehicle and walking down the street. I just walked across the yard and he and I exchanged words.”

Toms said the man told him to go back inside and not worry about it, but Toms came closer to him. Then a second man stepped out of the truck, and Toms realized the first man had something in his hand. It looked like a knuckle-duster or dough cutter, he said. The second man pulled out a large blade.

“At that point I didn’t really want any more of that so I started backing towards my buddy’s place and the original guy basically punched me right in the jaw and that got me startled,” he said.
