This would never have happened to Bruce Lee.
Seattle police say an intoxicated 25-year-old man, who told officers he thought he was a ninja, was impaled on a metal spike on Monday night after a failed attempt to jump a five-foot fence.
Officers learned a fight had broken out when a heavily intoxicated 41-year-old man had tried to go into a sports bar but the younger man, who wasn't a bar employee, barred him from going inside.
At one point, the men chased each other in the street and, in an attempt to get away, the younger man "thought he'd basically be able to jump over this fence, and he didn't quite make it," a police spokesperson said.
He was taken to hospital where he told police he believed he was a ninja.
