When I first saw this video of a bloody guy calmly walking around and chatting with a knife sticking out of his head I thought “this can’t be real…” so I started hunting for the actual story…and much to my surprise, I found it and yes, it’s real.
This young man is from Harlem and according to the story, he was defending his girlfriend from a knife attack and ended up with a butcher knife in his head.
A Harlem man escaped a stabbing with minor injures Tuesday — one of which was the massive kitchen knife left sticking upright out of his scalp, authorities said.
Viral Instagram video of the gory aftermath shows the unidentified man appearing to talk calmly with horrified onlookers and walking towards an FDNY ambulance — seemingly unaware of his blood-drenched undershirt and the kitchen knife protruding from the top of his head.
“He looked like he didn’t even feel it,” said one witness to the nightmarish scene, which unfolded around noon at East 125th Street and Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, according to authorities.
“The guy was refusing to go inside the ambulance,” continued the witness, declining to be identified by name.
Added a security guard at a nearby Duane Reade pharmacy who witnessed the attack: “I’m traumatized from seeing that.
“It looks like a scene out of a freaking movie.”

Despite the “horror movie” injury, police say the 36-year-old Harlem resident will be okay. The blade didn’t penetrate his skull.
He was listed in stable condition at Harlem Hospital.
