In 1958, it was said that it was a black woman with mental problems, who tried to kill Martin Luther King (MLK). She asked him if he were Dr. King. "Yes" he told her. The woman quickly took something from her purse, a letter opener with a long metal blade. And with it she stabbed Dr. King
Luckily it were stabbed behind the heart, so they managed to use operation, but if he sneezed or coughed he would probably have died. Marting Luther King even asked them not to arrest her, but to let her get examined by doctors and taken to a mental hospital.
