Man walks a mile with a knife in his head
2010-08-12
A 19-year-old man walked almost a mile with a steak knife impaled in his head after being stabbed, San Diego police said Thursday.
then he noticed his hat wouldn't come off
The victim told officers he didnÂ’t know why he was attacked by three men Wednesday night

Police got the call about the stabbing about 11:20 p.m. By then, Delimitros said, the victim had walked to Via Las Cumbres, about a mile from Morley Street.

A steak knife was impaled in the manÂ’s head. Paramedics took him to a hospital and he is expected to survive
but now has an aversion to cutlery

#3  Yeah, I remember during emergency medical training that you never pull anything out of someone, no matter how strong the impulse may be.

#2  Yep, it's weird, but not unheard of to have a stabbing or impaling victim walking around just fine up to the hospital ER doors. The removal process is a bit tricky, though, because the patient can then bleed to death if it is not done correctly.
