Girl Finds Dating App On Boyfriend's Phone, Tries To Chop His Hands Off With A Samurai Sword

Relationships can be pleasant as long as both the parties involved are committed and passionate about it. However, if there's breach of trust from any one side, things may become really bad. Emily Javier, thought that her boyfriend was cheating on her as she found Tinder on his phone, girl's hair in the shower drain and scratches on his back. While he was asleep, she attacked him with the sword that she had bought and taped on the side of the bed.

30-year-old Emily was apparently tired of her boyfriend being glued to the gaming on his phone, and also suspected him of cheating on her. In order to see better while attacking him, she used the light from her phone to see and aim better. Alex Lovell, her boyfriend, woke up and his self-defence instincts kicked in. They had been dating for two years now. He told Oregonian/OregonLive in an interview this week over Facebook messenger, "I was able to wing chun my way to survival," he said referring to a Chinese martial art, reported The Washington Post.

Eventually, he wrapped Emily in a bear hug.

"I saw the look in her eyes, and it scared the living poop out of me. I told her I loved her, and she was killing me. She needed to call police, or I was going to die," he told the news outlet. Then, Emily stopped attacking and called 911, where she told the operator she attacked her boyfriend with a sword. The police then arrived and found Alex covered in blood in the bathroom, according to the probable cause affidavit filed by police in Camas, a Washington state town east of Portland, Oregon.

He had serious injuries, but Alex survived the attack. He almost lost the index, middle and ring fingers on his hand. But in a series of interviews this week, the competitive gamer sounded happy to be alive.

"I was just so proud for beating this samurai wannabe crazy lady with hate in her heart," the 29-year-old told The Oregonian/OregonLive. Emily pleaded not guilty this week to first-degree attempted murder, according to the Columbian.

In an interview with police after the attack Emily, admitted she was frustrated with her boyfriend for staying glued to his game. Then, a week before this incident, Emily said she had discovered Lovell was unfaithful. According to the affidavit, she told police she discovered Tinder, the dating app, on his phone and found hair in the drain that was not hers and scratches on his back from an encounter with another woman.

In an interview with the Columbian this week, Lovell denied he was unfaithful. "I barely had time to hang out with my girlfriend, let alone another girl," he told the paper.

"I didn't see it coming, but it makes sense that it happened. She obviously didn't want anyone else to have me so, samurai sword."

Doctors were able to reattach Lovell's fingers where they were nearly hacked off at the base. He also suffered wounds to his feet, legs, torso, neck and head. His right arm is currently in a cast. Members of the local gaming scene set up a GoFundMe page for his medical bills. The fund is just $2,000 shy of its $10,000 goal after 10 days. Javier is still in custody.
