In China, teenager Xiao Wei was spending the afternoon at a video game café when he began to fight with another player who accused him of cheating. The aggressor then dragged Wei outside and stabbed him in his left temple with a 10-inch knife, according to FoxNews.com.
Somehow, Xiao remained conscious throughout the attack. When his friend discovered what had happened to the teen, he was rushed to the hospital where he underwent emergency neurosurgery.
The X- rays and CAT scans have revealed that no main arteries or nerves were damaged in the stabbing, and that Xaio is currently in stable condition.
Though the incident took place in China, the debate over the correlation between graphic video games and teen violence is a hot button issue in America.
The American Psychological Association suggests that the active role required of video game players could make them more dangerous than television or cinema.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), 35.5 percent of high school-aged youth reported being in a physical fight within the last 12 months, and the tendency toward violence seems to be more prevalent among young men than women.
Parents of teens who have been displaying violent tendencies could turn to their child's physician, school psychiatrists or the CDC's website called The Preventing Youth Violence: Program Activities Guide.
