BUFFALO, N.Y. — A Buffalo man will spend a decade behind bars for trying to kill a woman using a samurai sword.
Benjamin Frost, 61, was sentenced virtually Monday before State Supreme Court Judge William Boller. Judge Boller also ordered Frost to serve five years post-release supervision once he is out of prison.
Frost pleaded guilty to an attempted murder charge on November 24, 2020. He admitted attacking the victim with the sword inside the Kenfield Homes on Edison Avenue in Buffalo the night of March 27, 2019.
The woman was rushed to ECMC where she was treated for severe cuts to her head, arms, hand, thighs and back. She continues to recover from those injuries.
