Boy, 14, Accidentally Stabs Self In Anger At Mom

A 14-year-old Pen Argyl boy accidentally plunged a steak knife five inches into his leg Wednesday after becoming angry with his mother when she asked him to put away the clean dishes.

The boy told police he accidentally stabbed himself when he grabbed a steak knife and tried to throw it into the floor so it would stick.

But when the boy propelled the knife downward he released it while it was pointing at his leg, not the floor.

The boy was taken to St. Luke's Hospital-Fountain Hill, with the knife still in his leg.
