Neighbor Threatens Neighbor With Machete In Gainesville: Police

GAINESVILLE, VA—A man was arrested Monday after threatening his neighbor with a machete at a home in the 10000 block of Turning Grass Way, according to Prince William County Police. Waleed Ahmad Fahm, 33, of the aforementioned area, was charged with malicious wounding and burglary.

Around noon, police were dispatched to the scene for a reported fight in progress. Upon arrival, they found Fahm waving a machete toward his neighbor—a 34-year-old man—while yelling obscenities. Officers separated the men without incident.

Afterward, police found that Fahm went into his neighbor's garage and, unprovoked, threatened him with a machete. They began to struggle, and Fahm chased the man while waving the machete until police arrived. Both men suffered minor injuries. No word on what sparked Fahm's anger.
