Mumbai, Jun 6 (PTI) A 32-year-old businessman rode his motorcycle to a hospital with a knife pierced into his neck after he was attacked by his younger brother in Maharashtra’s Navi Mumbai, a police official said on Tuesday.
Doctors said victim Tejas Patil had a miraculous escape as the weapon missed his viral veins and arteries.
Tejas was sleeping at his home in Sector 5, Sanpada when his brother Monish (30) allegedly shoved a knife into his neck on June 3, he said. Monish then fled the spot.
Despite being in pain and bleeding, Tejas took out his motorcycle and rode for about 1 km to reach a hospital, he said.
