Brazil, Jan 15, 2015: Zheng Lang miraculously escaped with a huge scar and a slight impairment to his sight in one eye after the blade buried into his head.

Shock: X-ray showing the broken saw disc embedded in Zheng Lang’s forehead

These stomach-turning pictures show how a death-defying decorator almost met his maker.

Super lucky Zheng Lang’s face was sliced open by a spinning saw disc in a horrifying freak accident.

Zheng said the accident happened so fast he didn’t even realise what had happened at first.


Sew lucky: Zheng stitched up after treatment

But amazingly - despite the blade coming to rest 2cm into his skull and narrowly missing both eyes - the workman is expected to recover with only a slight impairment to sight in one eye.

Zheng, who was working in Fuzhou, China, was using an electric cutter to slice through metal bars when the spiked ring burrowed into his forehead at top speed.


Shock: The broken piece of saw disc and skull

I felt something hit my forehead and blood came out," he said.

He was rushed to hospital where doctors operated to carefully remove the saw disc and broken pieces of skull.

Bloody hell: Zheng on the operating table after the freak accident

Last month, a man with a knife sticking out of his head drove for two hours to hospital after being stabbed three times at a party.

Juacelo Nunes, 39, was lucky to be alive after the 30cm-long blade passed through his mouth, into the right side of his jaw and narrowly missed his left eye.

The motorcycle taxi driver also suffered knife wounds to his chest, throat and shoulder after an argument at an event in Agua Branca, Brazil.
