Ross doctors managed to save a man who planted a knife in his head, because he wanted an "extra hole" to help him breathe.

Yuri Gukhov, 41, miraculously survived the knife in his head, breaking the skull without damaging the brain.

The police found Gokhov kneeling in the middle of a field with a knife in his head and told them he had done so because he could not breathe well. "I could not breathe from my nose," said the man, from the town of Donetsk in the Rostov region. "So I punched my head to breathe."
