Man swings machete in parking dispute

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German man became so angry in an argument with a taxi driver over parking that he struck him on the head with a machete and chopped off the man's finger.

The 70-year-old man stormed off after remonstrating with the cab driver about his parking early on Wednesday morning, said police in Limburg-Weilburg in western Germany.

Soon afterwards, he reappeared at the driver's office armed with a 24-inch machete and attacked the 60-year-old, who was taken to the hospital with head injuries.

The assailant fled the scene, but later gave himself up. He is likely to be charged with attempted homicide, police said.
