A Russian man who cut himself in half with a circular saw is now recovering in hospital in the Russian city of Volgograd, the NTV television channel reported Thursday. Doctors have described him as a unique case.
Sergey Lovtsov, a middle-aged engineer, was sawing a log at his dacha when the saw rebounded and hit him. Circular saws are usually used to fell trees and the rescue services use them to cut through metal.
