A 20-year-old man's hand was nearly severed by an assailant wielding what is thought to be a samurai sword in Palmerston North on Saturday night.
Both the man's hands were badly injured by the assailant who had shown up uninvited to a large gathering of young people on Linton St, said Detective Senior Sergeant Craig Sheridan.
