The “attack” happened at 14-year-old Sam Hawthorne’s home in Dudley, England
Hawthorne was sleepwalking when the teeth of a dead souvenir shark from a family vacation, that hangs on the wall of his nautical-themed bedroom, became embedded in his face
The teeth left blood pouring from the teen’s face
“It was like something out of a horror film,” she said. “The shark must have been embedded in Sam's cheek for about 15 minutes and he was in a lot of pain.”
In the end, Hawthorne came away with only a small scar. “It was the most frightening experience of my life,”

Once I almost cut my thumb on a tooth belonging to one of the lions cast open-mouthed into the doorhandles of St. Agnes’ Church.

I'm becoming very confused about who gets to claim the status of victim in these peculiar incidents.

I have no problem believing this. I have a preserved alligator head in my living room and a friend’s little dog stuck its head into the mouth. The teeth were so sharp it sliced the dogs chin open when he tried to get his head back out.
