When a Brazilian taxi driver got into a free for all bar brawl, he
didn’t know when the fight actually came to a head and he got stabbed in
the head and it took him more than three hours before he realized he’s
been stabbed.
Juacelo Nunes de Oliveira, 39, was stabbed during an
argument, and it took more than three hours before he realized there was
ablade running through his skull to his jaw bone, CNN reports.
Oliveira was at a party in Agua Branca last Sunday when he was
stabbed four times; three times in the torso — one of which perforated a
lung — and once in the head. He was driven to a nearby hospital and
transferred to an emergency facility in Teresina, 62 miles away.
“He had the knife lodged in his head for this whole period but he was
not aware of it,” Dr. Gilberto Albuquerque told CNN. “We believe the
shock and a bit of the drinking may have helped him not to understand
the knife was still in his head.”
X-ray photos released by the military to CNN and Globo show the knife
protruding from behind his left eye. Albuquerque said the knife stopped
only when it struck the victim’s lower jaw.
Doctors told 9News that Oliveira is lucky to be alive.
