The 30cm-long blade narrowly missed Juacelo Nunes' left eye and passed through his mouth into the right side of his jaw, the G1 news website reported.

"The knife passed through several nerves and veins, structures that can quickly kill a patient" said Gilberto Albuquerque, the director of the hospital in Teresina.

The knife was removed and given to police who are investigating the attack, the doctor told G1. He added that the 39-year-old was recovering surprisingly well.

Mr Nunes also suffered two knife wounds to his throat, shoulder and chest when he was stabbed after an argument at the party in Agua Branca, more than 60 miles from Teresina, in northeastern Piaui state.
