rough his head.
Zhang Xuecheng was on his way home when he was struck by foot-long tool in Taoyuan Town, southern China's Hunan Province.
A shocking X-ray shows how it penetrated the back of his skull and came out his forehead.
How did he survive? This X-ray shows a man's head which was impaled by a pair of fire tongs thrown by someone who was trying to hit a stray dog in Taoyuan Town in southern China's Hunan Province
The tongs had been thrown by a man who was chasing a stray dog that had stolen a piece of bacon.
Zhang was rushed to hospital where doctors operated to remove the metal implement.
Chief surgeon Pu Yuejin said: 'The fire tongs were only a tiny space away from the neck artery, which could have cost his life'.
According to doctors Zhang is recovering in hospital and is now out of danger.
Lucky: Doctors said the tongs only narrowly missed an artery in his neck which would likely have killed him
