Sword scares RTD bus riders

The man was wearing a Fu Manchu mustache and armor, and brandished what appeared to be a blood-splattered sword at an RTD bus stop at University Avenue this morning.

 

Commuters were concerned enough about the realistic-looking sword, with a curved Arabian-style blade, that they called police.

 

"He was Goth in appearance," said Orin Levy, a freelance television producer who called 911. "It was very bizarre. Surreal. The guy's expression looked more like he was a bewildered traveler."

 

A police officer tracked the man down, asked him about the sword and learned that he was headed to a video-game convention and that the sword — which appeared metallic — was made of wood, said Sonny Jackson, Denver police spokesman.

 

"No harm, no foul," Jackson said. "We let him go."

 

People and swords these days... why is everyone on edge?
