A man didn't know that he had a knife stuck in his chest for more than a year after getting stabbed while walking home. Kent Ryan Tomao, 36, was attacked in Kidapawan city in the Philippines when he was returning from work in January last year. He got to know about the knife only recently when he went for a health check for his new job.
