A Russian man trying to sleep off a night of after-work drinking failed to notice a six-inch (15-cm) knife in his back - until his wife woke him up.

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.

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

"Unique and intriguing the case may be, but the accused faces a severe punishment," said Pavel Vorobyov, a deputy prosecutor in the northern city of Vologda.

'We were drinking'

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

The morning found him waking up in the watchman's office but instead of going back to work, he decided to take the bus home.

At home, Mr Lyalin had some sausage from the fridge and lay down to sleep, the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper says.

After a couple of hours, his wife noticed the handle sticking out of his back and called an ambulance.

Viktor Belov, a surgeon who treated him, found a kitchen knife in Mr Lyalin's back but "by good fortune, it had gone through soft tissue without touching vital organs".

His alleged attacker reported the crime to the police himself, Interfax adds. Mr Lyalin apparently feels fine and bears no ill-will.

"We were drinking and what doesn't happen when you're drunk?" he was quoted by Komsomolskaya Pravda as saying.

Rather lucky guy, 15cm blade...

Damn. Imagine that.
He's really very lucky.
I wonder how it happened.

Interesting, I heard of some woman getting stabbed in a clothing store in the United States and not noticing.

I've heard of a Woman getting hit by a train, walking off and not realizing she got hit by a train untill her doctor noticed somthing was wrong during a checkup some days later.

I love the fact that not only did he not notice, he doesn't care ;D More people should take that attitude about friendly disputes had whilst under the influence.

Lol yeh, this is the best part:

She wasn't drunk I remember, I'll have to look it up if only I could remember which of my books it is in.

Man, Russians are hardcore ;).

Or just very drunk. My friend was very drunk once, and (though it's not as bad as being stabbed with a 6-inch knife) she got a massive BLACK (like, not grey-purple. It was BLACK) bruise and she had no idea where or how she got it.

Also there is the fact that things don't always hurt that much after the initial piercing of the skin, I once stapled myself with a staple gun (the manual kind you see used for carpet) because they switched the side the staple usually comes out on so I had my hand covering it. There was the initial surge of pain but after that I barely felt it at all, I ended up simply pulling it out bandaging it and it healed up within a day or two (I heal fast but since this was a clean puncture even faster).

True, less nerves, but lucky it didn't hit anything important or get infected.

My high school boyfriend's stepmother sliced all the way down her thigh with very sharp scissors while sewing- she didn't notice she was cutting into her flesh as well as the cloth. And to think, I sometimes black out from paper cuts :S
