The knife narrowly missed Juacelo Nunes' left eye and passed through his mouth into the right side of his jaw.
Bleeding profusely from multiple stab wounds, Nunes travelled 97km from the remote village of Agua Branca to the municipality of Teresina - both in northeastern Piaui state.

Albuquerque added that Nunes was recovering surprisingly well.
