Amazing pictures show how boy, 12, had a butcher's meat hook plunged into his eye - which incredibly doctors were able to save


WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT - 12-year-old Md Baba Qureshi (left), from Hyderabad, in southern India, was playing at a butchery when the hook - used to hang up mutton in traditional Indian meat stores - suddenly pierced his left eye and entered his brain. The thick rod (inset) had entered his orbit cavity but his eyeball remained intact. It had also penetrated 15cm deep into his brain. He remained conscious throughout but his eye was bleeding profusely and he was crying in pain. He was rushed to hospital and surgeons took one hour to remove the rod after conducting a CT Scan and X-ray (right) . Amazingly he has recovered well and is due to be discharged this week.
