A Vancouver boy had a butter knife pulled from his head at a hospital Sunday.
Tyler Hemmert said he and a friend were sitting on a park bench when another boy became angry with them and threw a knife at them.
“When he threw it, we both ducked,” said Nate Leach, Tyler’s friend. “… It just stuck him in the head.”
The butter knife became lodged in Tyler's head between his scalp and skull. “It, like, stung like a bee for a while,” Tyler said.
Tyler went to a nearby house for help and his friend ran several blocks to tell Tyler’s father.
Brian Hemmert said he didn’t stop to put on his shoes. He drove to the park and an ambulance followed moments later.
“What I wanted to do was yank it out,” Brian Hemmert said. “But I knew better.”
Tyler said he could still feel the knife. “I could see the handle of the butter knife, sticking out,” he said. “That’s when I freaked out.”
The ambulance took Tyler to the hospital with the knife still in his head.
“They took a CAT scan to make sure it wasn’t in my skull,” he said. “Then they numbed it, and cut it open and ripped the knife out.”
Tyler received five stitches to hold his scalp together. He had a bandage wrapped around his head Sunday night.
Police said they interviewed the boy who threw the knife. Juvenile authorities will decide whether charges will be pursued.
