WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT! A Harlem man escaped a stabbing Tuesday with minor injuries — including one caused by the massive kitchen knife left sticking upright out of his scalp, authorities said. Viral Instagram video of the gory aftermath shows the unidentified man appearing to talk calmly with horrified onlookers and walking toward an FDNY ambulance — seemingly unaware of his blood-drenched undershirt and the kitchen knife protruding from the top of his head. Despite the slasher flick-worthy nature of the injury, cops said that the victim — identified only as a 36-year-old Harlem resident — escaped serious harm because the blade didn’t penetrate his skull. He was listed in stable condition at Harlem Hospital. Multiple witnesses characterized the events preceding the stabbing as an apparent domestic squabble in which the man allegedly roughed up a female companion who responded by plunging the knife into his head.

Armed protesters stood guard at an Atlanta-area Wendy's, the site where Rayshard Brooks, a black man shot twice in the back by an Atlanta police officer, died earlier this month. Earlier in the day, a group of people had "taken over" the burned-out property in South Atlanta, according to local reports. People living in the area also have complained that the protesters who remained were no longer peaceful, but instead were using the space for their own gain and at times blocking people on the street from getting by.

Minnesota -- A man in a standoff with law enforcement fatally shot himself Wednesday on an Andover property where a home burned to the ground, the Officer reported. The property in the 300 block of Andover Boulevard also is where Anoka County sheriff's deputies were called in mid-February, when the owner allegedly fired several gunshots and made threats to shoot law enforcement. The house fire was detected by a passerby about 6:30 a.m., and a SWAT team joined fire personnel in responding to the scene, said Sheriff's Lt. Andy Knotz. Deputies arrived to find the gunman in a horse trailer with sleeping quarters along side a pole building at the back of the property and threatening deputies, according to the lieutenant. Fire personnel from several departments "were pulled back for safety" as authorities attempted to make contact with the suspect, Knotz said.
