Bobbi Kristina's problems 'out of control'
EL CAJON, Calif., Feb. 9 (UPI) -- A California man says his son attacked him with a samurai sword in a fight over SpaghettiO's.
John Cahan, 39, of Spring Valley is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse and residential burglary in the Dec. 26 attack on his father, Allen Cahan, 69, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported.
El Cajon Superior Judge Patricia Cookson ruled Tuesday there was sufficient evidence to go to trial, which she set for March 28.
Testifying from a wheelchair, Allen Cahan said he was asleep when his son, standing over him with the sword, woke him up and accused him of cooking a can of SpaghettiO's.
He denied making the food, but "all of the sudden he swung the sword at me," the father said.
His left leg was cut open and required surgery and many stitches.
John Cahan also told his father to extend his hand so he could cut it off, sheriff's investigators have said.
The son later tried to stop the bleeding and called 911.
