Minnesota Vikings fan Dave Moschel heard something outside his Wisconsin home - about 150 miles south of Green Bay - so he went outside to investigate and found a man slicing his inflatable Vikings lawn decoration.
Moschel confronted the man and a struggle ensued, which left Moschel with multiple stab wounds. Moschel sufffered large gashes on his head and says the attacker is fortunate to be alive.

"Police told News 3 that a 21-year-old man started damaging the inflatable with a box cutter and was confronted by the owner. The owner, 36-year-old Dave Moschel, was then stabbed seven times with the box cutter.
.... "Luckily, I didn't have my concealed carry on me at the time," Moschel said. "Ninety-nine percent of the time I leave the house, I never leave without it. And this is the one time I did. I'm kind of glad I did, because he would have been dead, and I would have had to live with that."
Moschel was taken to a hospital, where he was treated and released. He received multiple stitches for wounds to his forehead and under his eye."
