A three-year-old girl walked into a hospital in China with a fruit knife seemingly lodged deep in the side of her head.
Footage taken outside the Dongchuan People’s Hospital, in south-west China, appeared to show the young child being walked around by her mother with a six-inch blade stuck just above her right ear.
The girl was seen tottering about as her mother is guided to the hospital by a member of staff in a white coat.
According to local media, the mother, whose surname is Hu, claimed she was changing bedsheets when she swung a sheet and sent the sharp object soaring into her daughter's head.
But a hospital staff member reportedly said the mother admitted to picking up the knife to 'scare' the young girl, who at the time was having a tantrum, before accidentally stabbing her.
