From London To La-La Land

This sounds like an X-File:

Law enforcement and fire officials are investigating an apparent sword and arson attack yesterday evening at a church in Lakeview Terrace that left one man with slight injuries.

LAPD Officer Karen Smith says police received reports at around 6:45 that a 35- to 40-year-old sword-wielding man with tattoos on his face and arms had barged into All Nations Church.

She says the suspect attacked a man who was practicing drums in a room at the church, leaving him with a superficial two-inch cut to his arm. The suspect then set several fires in the church before fleeing when police arrived.

Smith says officers pursued the man on foot into a storm drain, where he evaded capture.

She says a task force of local and federal agencies is investigating the incident.
