Third grade student Equestrian trails elementary in Wellington, Fla., was unexpectedly seriously wounded by an ordinary pencil and almost died right at school, says New York Post.
Colston Moradi, an eight-year-old boy, wore his backpack when a very sharp pencil in his side pocket stuck into his body. The pencil punched a hand near the armpit almost 10 centimeters deep and touched the most important circulatory artery.
The teacher who found the wounded Colston was shocked. According to her, the boy did not shout and did not cry and did not utter a word at all. A puddle of blood spread around the feet of the schoolchild, and the child’s shirt was completely stained with blood. The teachers immediately provided the boy with first aid and called the doctors, who took Colston to the hospital, where the child had several stitches.
The most amazing thing is that despite the severe damage and serious blood loss, the very next day the student returned to school.
