A woman was rushed to hospital after her daughter found her sitting under the stairs with a 11cm knife wedged in her skull.
Liu Yanya was cooking in her home in Changchun, the capital of China’s Jilin Province, when an 11cm instrument impaled her skull after an accidental fall.
The 57-year old woman remained calm until found by her daughter, who said only a black handle remained outside her mother’s head.
According to Metro UK, daughter Wang Xue said:
“I heard a loud ‘pang’ sound and when I ran out I found my mother sitting under the stairs with a long knife in head.
“The blade had gone all the way in leaving only the black handle outside.”
Liu Yanya was rushed to hospital, where doctors were surprised to see her alert and awake.
Chief surgeon Sun Yang, who removed the blade from her skull, added:
“The more amazing thing is when the patient came in, she was still in a clear mind, and could walk and speak.”
Liu Yanya is now recovering in hospital following the accident.
