Original victim slashed attacker with same machete, police say

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police say a man slashed with a machete immediately took revenge and used the same weapon on his attacker.

David Lance Osborn, 33, was taken into police custody.

According to police, officers found two men at an apartment complex in the 7200 block of Blanco Road early Monday morning.

They said the two men got into an argument around midnight, and then it turned physical with Osborn slashing the other on the shoulder with a machete.
