man Tries to Commit Suicide Using Sword, Steering Wheel

AZCentral- A 27-year-old Mesa man drove through the block wall of a Chandler home and ended up in the pool after an apparent suicide attempt Tuesday morning, Chandler Police spokesman Sgt. Joe Favazzo said.

The man positioned a 24-inch sword through the steering wheel and tied it in place with a T-shirt. Favazzo said when he drove through the wall, the airbag deployed and bent the sword.

The car broke through the fence and crashed into the pool, but he got himself out.

The man was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including a cut in the neck from the sword, said Favazzo.

It is unknown whether he will be charged with any crimes.
