MILLINOCKET, Maine (AP) A Maine man who police say cut another man’s arm with a samurai sword during a fight has been charged with aggravated assault and possession of a dangerous weapon.

Police say 35-year-old Jeremy Rideout, of Millinocket, turned himself in Wednesday.

He was taken to the Penobscot County Jail in Bangor and made bail a few hours later.

Police were called to a high school parking lot in Millinocket on Sunday where they found the injured man.
