The suspect might have brandished the knife and then stabbed himself in the eye with it. Upon realizing that we was blind in the eye, he screamed "My eye! My eye!" The bartender, hearing the commotion, turned around and said, "Wait here. I'll get my things." The bartender was an opthamologist during the day and always carried his equipment. He retrieved his black bag, assisted patrons in placing the suspect on the bar after wiping it down with some top-shelf vodka, and proceeded to - as the article says - remove the knife from the suspect.
