Drunk Russian Sleeps with Knife in His Back

A Russian man slept off a night of after-work drinking without noticing a 15-centimeter kitchen knife in his back until his wife woke him up, BBC reported Friday.

Yuri Lyalin, 53, took a bus home, ate breakfast and apparently slept like a baby before his spouse noticed a handle sticking out of his back.

He was rushed to casualty but doctors found no vital organs damaged.

Lyalin shrugged the episode off but the drinking partner who stabbed him faces trial, Russian media report.

Lyalin, an electrician, had spent the evening drinking with a watchman at his workplace when they got into an argument.

A couple of hours after returning home, his wife noticed the wound and called an ambulance.

His alleged attacker reported the crime to the police himself.
