Man Says He Was Unaware Of Knife Stuck In His Skull For Hours

When a Brazilian taxi driver got into a bar brawl, he didn’t know when the fight actually came to a head — his head.

Juacelo Nunes de Oliveira, 39, was stabbed during an argument, and it took more than three hours before he realized there was a blade 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.

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.

Bet this guy won’t be going to anymore bars anytime soon…
