Man Drives Himself To Hospital With Knife In His Head

Juacelo Nunes was stabbed at a party by the 30cm-long blade which passed through his mouth into the right side of his jaw.

The 39-year-old said he got into an argument with a man who then called three others to attack him.

"I did not see the moment of the stabbing, but at no time fainted and remained conscious even with pain," he said.

"I thought I would die and only came to believe when I saw what happened to me, because if someone told me I would not have believed it."

Doctors removed the knife and gave it over to police.

Mr Nunes is said to be recovering surprisingly well.

He also suffered two knife wounds to his throat, shoulder and chest when he was stabbed at the party in Teresina, Brazil.

Mr Nunes' wife Francisca Pereira said it is a "miracle" her husband survived.
