A 15-centimeter long silver-colored knife stuck into the back of the head of Lin (pseudonym) on May 16 in Dongguan, south China’s Guangdong province. The 12-year-old girl was immediately rushed to hospital.

She was hanging out with her schoolmates at a local park, where her schoolmate quarreled with a boy. The boy threw the knife into their direction when they were leaving, and the knife stuck right into the head of Lin.

After discussion, doctors made a choice to hold her head still and pulled the knife out with help of tools. The girl is now recovering, and will be able to get out of the hospital in the near future.

The boy, 13 years old, was later found by the police. Due to the fact that he is not old enough to be held criminally liable, he was released by the police. The two families have signed mediation agreement outside of court. The boy’s family has paid most of the 8,000 yuan (around 1,222 USD) for Lin’s treatment.
