Boy survives a butter knife in the head

VANCOUVER, Wash. - An altercation in a Vancouver park left an 11-year-old boy with a butter knife in his head.

Tyler Hemmert is a little sore but will be just fine even though the butter knife went four or five inches into his scalp.

Hemmert said he was playing at a park on Sunday when a boy with a butter knife got angry and threw it at him. A buddy ducked to avoid the flying butter knife, which then went straight at
Hemmert, lodging in the right side of his head.

Instead of pulling the knife out, Hemmert ran through the park, asked a neighbor for help and took an ambulance ride to the hospital.

"I just reached up, I didn't know it went in," he said. "I touched it and then I looked over and I could see the handle right there. I just kind of panicked at the time."

At the hospital, Hemmert ended up with five stitches. He said it hurts to chew his food but he is proud of himself for staying calm.

As for the boy who he said threw the butter knife, police let him go home with his mother. A juvenile prosecutor will decide whether the boy should be charged with a crime.

8 teens charged in videotaped attack

LAKELAND, Fla. - Eight teenagers have been arrested on charges alleging they beat another teen in an "animalistic attack" so they could make a videotape to post on YouTube.

Seven of them remained in juvenile detention Tuesday, authorities said. A boy who was charged as an adult had been released on bail.

Victoria Lindsay was attacked on March 30 by six teenage girls when she arrived at a friend's home, authorities said.

One of the girls struck the 16-year-old victim on the head several times and then slammed her head into a wall, knocking her unconscious, according to an arrest report.

Later, according to a clip of the video that was released by the Polk County sheriff's office, the teens can be seen blocking a door and hitting Victoria.

"It's absolutely an animalistic attack," Sheriff Grady Judd said Tuesday on NBC's "Today." "They lured her into the home for express purpose of filming the attack and posting it on the Internet."

Victoria's father, Patrick Lindsay, said the teens intended to post the video on the video-sharing Web site YouTube.

Christina Garcia, mother of one of the defendants, said her daughter had turned the tape over to police.

The sheriff's office said that after the attack, three of the teens forced the victim into a vehicle and drove her to another location, where she was told she would be given a worse beating if she contacted police.

All eight suspects were arrested April 2 and charged with battery and false imprisonment. The three teens who took Lindsay to the second location are also charged with felony kidnapping.
Lindsay was treated for a concussion, damage to her left eye and left ear, and numerous bruises, police said.
