Bloody battle between neighbours sees man's arm almost severed with a chain saw... and another's finger chopped off with a SAMURAI sword

In a bloody battle between two warring neighbours in Australia today, one man's arm was almost severed with a chain saw, while another had a finger chopped off with a Samurai sword.
Surgeons were later trying to save the arm of the chain saw victim, Mark Jorgenson, 29, while his neighbour Troy Thornton, 26, was being treated after losing his finger to the Samurai sword.
Police who rushed to the small town of Minto, south west of Sydney, found pools of blood in the street and Mr Jorgenson crying in pain from his almost-severed arm.

Detectives are investigating claims that after the two men argued over loud music and reckless driving, Mr Thornton went to Mr Jorgenson's house with the chain saw.
Mr Jorgenson grabbed the Japanese sword and the bloody battle began. Detective Chief Inspector Mark Brett described the result of the confrontation as 'horrific'.
He said: 'A chain saw is a serious weapon which inflicts pretty brutal injuries.
It's very disturbing…a chainsaw and a Samurai sword are serious weapons.' It is too early to say who'll be charged, he added.
After paramedics said that Mr Jorgenson's arm was so badly damaged that they believed it would have to be amputated, his father Laurie told Sydney's Daily Telegraph that the brawl with the next-door family started in the afternoon following complaints about noise.

Mr Thorton's mother, Wendy, confirmed that her son did wield the chain saw, but said he grabbed it to defend himself.
'They (the Jorgensen family) had machetes and bats and we had nothing so Troy grabbed the chain saw,' she said.
The two families agreed they had been involved in an ongoing war but Mr Jorgensen said sorting it out with a chain saw was extreme. 'Fists maybe, but this is just over the top,' he said.
Mr Thornton's family explained that he had been staying at the house to comfort his sister Nicole, who had recently lost her partner when his small boat overturned on a river.
Police said they had been called to Fenton Crescent, Minto, following reports a person armed with a chain saw had entered a house.
Forensic officers set up a crime scene as detectives began interviewing both families at length.
Chainsaws are powerful cutting machines that can be powered by a two-stroke motor, electricity, compressed air or hydraulic power. They are used mostly for felling trees and lopping thick branches.
The cutting part of the oblong-shaped device consists of a chain with small sharp cutting teeth. Some specialised machines are used to cut through concrete.
Many companies insist that operators should be certified or licensed to work with chain saws.
The terror that chain saws can bring when used against people was emphasised in the 1974 movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre - considered so horrific that it was banned in several countries.

Arm Nearly Severed in Australian Chainsaw Attack | The Jakarta Globe

Unreal. I love that the end of the article describes chainsaws for the uneducated. People are crazy.

Jeez! Everybody knows you don't bring a sword to a chainsaw fight!

This sounds like the Aussie Redneck Show. People are stupid everywhere.

Wonder what the blood alcohol levels were of the parties involved.

Obviously the answer is to ban chainsaws. And swords. Ad loud music. And driving. And neighbors.

Problem solved.

Two bad-tempered, blood thirsty idiots.

An arm and a finger lost.

Two lessons learned the hard way.

No one died.

Not a bad outcome, considering.

I don't know sometimes I think "natural selection" could use a little push.

Joniemack · May 2, 2012

I'm all for that.

Yep, we Aussies are really dumb - we need everything explained to us.

I think Police arrived too early - this could've been a great Darwin Award story.

HE IS lucky to have his right arm, partially severed by a chainsaw in an alleged altercation with his neighbour, but Mark Jorgensen says he would do it all again.
''Thanks to everyone for the wishes,'' he posted on his Facebook page from his Liverpool Hospital bed, ''anyone who knows me knows i dont fight with weopens (sic). id do it all again to protect my family or friends.''
Mr Jorgensen, 29, had extensive surgery to reattach his right arm after a neighbourhood dispute turned violent at Minto on Tuesday night. The man carrying the chainsaw, Troy Thornton, 26, lost his ring finger in the feud that began over loud music.

His sister, Nicole Thornton, said yesterday Mr Jorgensen was not carrying a weapon but someone still attacked her brother. She said she had moved her family from their Minto home to avoid any further conflict.
Ms Thornton would not say where her family would move to but said they were forced to go for their own safety.
"My mum is moving. I've told her that she has to," Ms Thornton said.
"How are my mum and my step father meant to stay in that house with young hoons are living next door?"
Mr Thornton, a father of two, lives in Queensland but was in Sydney to attend the funeral of his sister's partner, Peter Reinhardt, who drowned when his boat overturned on the Nepean River in March.
The problems began just after 5.30pm on Tuesday night when the Jorgensen household complained about Ms Halls playing loud music.
The Thorntons claim that someone from the Jorgensen household then drove in a dangerous and threatening manner towards them.
Police were called and the two families were told to return to their homes.
But tensions escalated again just before 9.20pm, resulting in the chainsaw being produced.
Ms Thornton claimed members of the Jorgensen household tried to invade their family's home.
