NZ man stabbed in the face with a 15-centimetre knife July 7, 2006 Other New Zealand stories
Location of New Zealand A 36-year-old man, who is yet to be named, is undergoing surgery after an attacker lodged a knife through one cheek and out the other. The handle broke off, leaving the 15-cm (about 6 inches) blade inside him. The man was rushed to hospital today, July 7, at about 2 a.m. NZST. The attack occurred last night after a domestic row in Albany on Auckland's North Shore. New Zealand Police report that the knife just missed his optic nerve and his condition is stable and not life threatening. John Chaplin, head and neck surgeon said, "the man could be treated relatively simply. The major blood vessels of the head were further back in the neck and the knife could be relatively easily removed in an operating theatre where bleeding could be controlled." The police have issued an arrest warrant for Vance Paraki Tuheke, 31-year-old, in relation to the attack. The victim may suffer from some facial numbness. Sources
