MUMBAI: A man reportedly survived a brutal attack after arriving at a hospital with a machete lodged in his head, in an incident that has shocked social media users worldwide. 

According to reports, the victim, identified only as Isma, walked into Mumbai’s Sion Hospital while still conscious and calmly using his mobile phone despite the weapon being embedded in his skull following the attack.
