The 40 year old was stabbed with a kitchen knife by her partner who remains at large.
Surgeons have saved the life of a 40 year old Dominican Republic woman who was found with a kitchen knife buried in her neck up to the hilt, some ten centimetres.

Doctors say she was very lucky as the blade missed important blood ways and also missed nerves of the back, despite being inserted from behind.

It happened at her home in the Vallecas part of the city and the aggressor is thought to be the man with whom she shares her home. He is yet to be arrested.

She is now recovering in the Gregorio Marañón Hospital, where she is in a serious condition but out of danger, provided there are no complications.
