LAND O' LAKES, Fla., Aug. 25 (UPI) -- A woman used a ninja sword to cut her boyfriend during a fight sparked by a phone conversation with his ex-wife, authorities in Florida say.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said William Allen, 39, was talking to his ex-wife by phone Sunday night at the Land O' Lakes home he shares with his girlfriend, Dana Gordon, 37, when the couple began to argue, the Tampa (Fla.) Tribune reported Tuesday.

Gordon told deputies Allen started the physical part of the fight by slapping her across the face, while Allen told police Gordon punched him in the face seven or eight times before he retaliated. He said she went to get the sword after he spit on her and slapped her to make her stop punching him.

Allen said Gordon poked him repeatedly with the sword, causing cuts to his arms, legs and torso. Gordon said she only held the sword up to Allen and told him to leave her alone, but deputies found Allen with several cuts after he wrestled the sword away from Gordon and called 911.

Gordon was arrested on suspicion of felony aggravated domestic battery and was taken to the Land O' Lakes Jail without bail.
