A man in Xi'an, capital of Shaanxi province, ran to a hospital with a knife stuck in his head.

Wen Wen (not his real name), 38, told doctors that his 70-year-old father stabbed him while he was at home doing housework.

Doctors found that although the 10-cm long knife was nearly fully inserted into his head, his brain was not touched.

According to Wen Wen's wife, her husband had some problems with his father, but she didn't think he was capable of violence.

After police showed up, the old man disappeared from home, and no one knows why he injured his son.
