A teenager was stabbed in the head with scissors during an English lesson at school.
Chloe Fisher, 15, was suddenly attacked, also suffering multiple cuts to her hands, arms and nose.
Blood was gushing from her head, pouring down her face and neck just moments after the assault at Wordsley School, in Stourbridge.
She was rushed to hospital where a CT scan revealed that the blade had narrowly missed her skull.
A 16-year-old boy, who has not been names for legal reasons, was later arrested after the incident on Monday.
Chloe said she can still hear the the noises her attacker was making as he lunged at her.

Recalling how the attack happened, she said: ‘He went to the front, got a pair of scissors and said: “There you are”. He started attacking me with scissors. I didn’t feel anything – I just went completely numb.
‘I was in shock and had my eyes closed, I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t realise I was bleeding. They were dragging him out and then I saw the blood.
‘People told me to sit down as I had been stabbed. My dad came to the school and had words with the teachers.
‘I also have a cut on my left arm, two cuts on my right hand, two cuts on my left hand and cuts behind my ear.

‘The two on the head went deep enough to bleed under the scalp.’
Chloe’s parents Jay Fisher, 36, and Emma Loat, 35, are now keeping her and her younger brother off school as they feel it is no longer safe for them there.
They slammed Wordsley School for failing to notify them of what happened to their daughter, who had to call them herself.
Mum Emma stressed that what makes the incident ‘worse’ is that it was not the school who contacted them.

‘Chloe called her dad screaming and crying down the phone,’ she said.
‘The Wordsley School staff failed to contact myself, my partner or even call an ambulance.
‘My partner immediately left work and drove straight to the school. During this time we had still had no communication from The Wordsley School.
‘Upon arrival my partner found Chloe who was surrounded by six teachers, but no police presence or paramedics at that time. The left side of Chloe’s face was plastered in blood.

‘My partner questioned the staff as to why we were never called about the incident and to inform us that our daughter had been stabbed.
‘Their response was that they presumed somebody had already called us.
‘They also said that they also wanted to establish the truth before notifying the police. Two police officers did eventually arrive.
‘This is absolutely appalling. The Wordsley School needs to be held accountable for its major failings.’

Jay rushed to the school after his daughter sent him a WhatsApp video of blood pouring down her face.
In the initial moments of shock, the dad-of-three thought it was ‘surely a prank’.
‘As a parent it’s our job to make sure they’re safe. When they’re at school it’s the teachers job,’ he stressed.
A West Midlands Police spokesperson confirmed the incident happened at about 2pm on Monday and that a 16-year-old boy has since been arrested on suspicion of assault with intent to cause serious harm.
He remains in custody for questioning.
The school said the incident is being dealt with through the schools ‘behaviour policy’ and that a full investigation is to take place.
Ashley Weatherhogg, headteacher at Wordsley School, said: ‘An incident took place in school yesterday afternoon, which is being dealt with through the school’s behaviour policy.
‘The school is now following the normal procedures and carrying out a full investigation.’
