Some people are much tougher than we could ever dream, and they are capable to remain alive and kicking even in horror movie-like scenarios. Well, maybe not exactly kicking, but at least able to drive 60 miles (100 km) with a knife implanted in their head…
This is exactly what happened to Juacelo Nunes, a 39-year-old motorcycle taxi driver in the Teresina municipality in the Piaui state, Brazil. Early in the morning on December 29, Nunes was stabbed in the head with a 30cm-long (12”) knife at a house party in the village of Agua Branca, some 60 miles away from the city of Teresina.
According to media, he also received multiple other stab wounds in his neck, shoulders and torso. Sources say that he was involved in a quarrel with a party attendant who called three of his friends who battered and stabbed Nunes.
A three-hour-long surgery in the emergency room was needed to extract the knife from Nunes’ head and fix the wounds. Medics say that Nunes was extremely lucky as the damage to the nerves and veins in that area of the head could have easily caused death.
Nunes is recovering very well, and doctors say he will make a full recovery, despite the severity of the wounds he received. In fact it looks like he spent the New Year’s Eve at home with his wife and family. Police and legal action is most likely underway, and Nunes’ attackers are most likely going to be extremely uneasy learning that the man they stabbed in the head is doing fine and will be coming after them, legally speaking.
This disturbing, yet happy-ending story says more about tough motorcyclists than what Hollywood clichés are serving us…

A 30cm knife missing the eye
Allegedly, the final blow was a knife strike which narrowly missed his left eye. The knife remained lodged in Nunes’ upper jaw bone. He did not lose consciousness and was able to get on his vehicle, driving from Agua Branca to Teresina, where he was admitted into the hospital.A three-hour-long surgery in the emergency room was needed to extract the knife from Nunes’ head and fix the wounds.
