The Most Bizarre X-Ray Pictures
Chair leg
HERE’S an image of Shafique el-Fahkri, taken at the Royal Melbourne Hospital where team of five surgeons are preparing to remove a met framed chair leg from his face.
Operation over and Mr Fahkri spends a month in hospital. He now has 95 per cent of his sight back.
Says he:
“I feel all right at the moment, actually, but I am too weak for work.”
In Melbourne Magistrates Court, 20-year-old Liam Peart, pleads guilty to a charge of “negligently causing serious injury”.
Says Fahki:
“I forgive him, totally,” Mr Fahkri said.
The incident:
Mr Fahkri was injured after a brawl erupted outside the Metro nightclub in Bourke Street at 2.45am. About 45 minutes later, with isolated assault incidents continuing, Peart picked up a metal-framed chair as he ran towards the nightclub.
Senior Constable Sheers said Peart raised the chair above his head and threw it at Mr Fahkri, who tried to protect himself by raising his hands.
The leg of the chair penetrated Mr Fahkri’s left eye socket, moved his eyeball to the side and continued into his neck.
Which can hurt…
