A schoolgirl is lucky to be alive after she was accidentally stabbed with a pair of scissors in her head.
Nong, 10, was walking past her little brother Tin, 4, when the boy, pretending to be a TV character, hurled the sharp object at her head on March 23 in Thailand.
The scissors pierced an inch into Nong’s skull, and she was rushed to the Satuek Hospital in Buriram province.
Shocking x-ray photos show the metal scissors penetrating her skull deeply.
She was later transferred to the Buriram Hospital, where doctors were able to safely remove the object from her head.
Her grandfather Jaroon Royram, 50, said he had been cutting iron and had left the siblings unattended.

He said: ‘I told my granddaughter to keep away from my workspace because she might be hit by pieces of metal. Shortly after, I heard her screaming and crying.
‘I ran over to see what was happening and found the scissors lodged in the side of her head.’
Jaroon added he had tried to remove the scissors himself, but they were embedded firmly in the girl’s skull.
Local media reported that the girl had stayed at the hospital for two days before being discharged, and is now recovering at home.
