I got stabbed not that long ago, just in the shoulder, nothing serious. It wasn't initially aimed at me though. On a night out I saw a guy physically punch a girl in the face (hilarious as it first seemed) I wasn't gonna stand for that so I went over and called the guy on it. He threatened me but barely managed to finish his sentence. Another guy across the street had reacted quicker than me, headbutted him on the spot and burst his nose, sent him on his arse then he vamoosed hollering all kinds of "you don't know who the fuck I am" type shit. I shrugged it off, made sure the girl was ok, shook the other guys hand and carried on about my business. About an hour later this fucking wifebeater comes stumbling into the pub I'm drinking in (with the aforementioned girl) waving a little lockback around the place looking for yer man who'd headbutted him. After screaming and shouting and arguing with each other again he went to go for the girl only this time with the blade, at which point I pushed the girl out of the way, leaned over and stuck a pint glass in his face. The bouncers picked the guy up and saw he was taken care of in the back until the police arrived to arrest him. It wasn't until I went out to smoke after the ruckus that somebody pointed out the cunt had knifed me in the shoulder. Nothing life threatening, a few stitches and I was sent on my way. It's amazing how smashing a glass in somebody's face can be classed as self defence under the right circumstances though. And I never had to pay for a drink for the whole night after that. Bonus.

EDIT: relating to the thread - it was potentially life threatening had I not reacted quick enough and lifted the glass.
