Man Lives Four Years With Knife Stuck In Head
10:00pm UK, Thursday February 17, 2011

A Chinese man sought treatment for headaches for four years - only to discover he had had a four-inch dagger lodged in his head.

Doctors in Yuxi, in China's south western Yunnan province operated on the man to extract the rusty blade. Known as Mr Ni, he was stabbed in the lower right jaw when fighting off a robber four years ago. After that, he began to suffer from a variety of complaints.
