First date from hell as man is left with kitchen knife sticking out of his head just hours after meeting would-be lover
A MAN is fighting for his life after he was attacked by a woman following an argument during their first date.
The unnamed victim was left with a knife in his head after the incident which took place in Kharkiv, northeastern Ukraine, on April 9.
Reports say the pair were drinking alcohol on a bench near a block of flats when an argument started between them.
During heated discussions, the 31-year-old date - identified only by her first name of Marina - allegedly stabbed the man with a kitchen knife, letting the blade enter six inches into his head, police said.
A video filmed by witnesses shows the 59-year-old man lying unconscious on the ground moments after being attacked by the woman.
The suspect can be seen rummaging in the man's pockets reportedly for his money while the knife sticks out of the right part of his head.
Moments later the woman grabs the knife handle trying to pull the weapon out of his motionless body.
After failing, she goes away leaving her victim lying on the tarmac alone.
Marina's friend, named as Anton, who lives in the apartment block, told local media: "She came to me and said she stuck a knife into the man's head.
"I did not believe her at first then looked out of the window and saw him lying near the bench.
"She said she became furious after he groped her bottom."
It is believed Marina was carrying a knife for self-defence.
Meanwhile, the witnesses called emergency services and the victim was rushed to hospital in critical condition.
Patrol policewoman Kateryna Misina told: "When we arrived the man was lying in the pool of his own blood. The suspect had pulled the knife out of his head trying to cover-up the incident."
Doctors from the Kharkiv City Clinical Hospital are still battling to save the man's life.
A source in the hospital said: "The man's condition is very grave. He could have had higher chances to survive if the knife hadn't been touched until medical help came."
