Piranha Attack! Killer Fish Injure 60 Christmas Day Swimmers In Argentina by Emmey15(m): 12:05am On Dec 28, 2013
The shoal of meat-eating fish appeared
on a popular beach in Argentina
More than 60 people were injured in a
mass piranha attack in an Argentine river.
Dozens of bathers including more than
20 children were bitten by the shoal of
meat-eating fish during the surprise
Christmas Day attack.
A seven-year-old girl lost part of one of
her fingers.
Other swimmers suffered deep cuts to
their ankles, fingers and hands.
The attack happened on Christmas Day
on a popular beach on the Parana River
in the city of Rosario, birthplace of
Barcelona striker Messi.
Swimmers trying to cool down in 100
degrees Farenheit temperatures raced
out of the water bleeding from wounds
and shouting for help while the parents
of children in the water rushed to their
aid to drag them to safety.
Coastguards called paramedics so they
could assist the most seriously injured
before police closed off the beach.
The attack, blamed on a piranha cousin
called palometas, was the most serious of
its kind in the city since 2008 when 40
swimmers were hurt.
Paramedic Gustavo Centurion described
them as “very aggressive.”
The meat-eating fish are reported to have
been attracted to the coast by bait left by
local fishermen.
Local government spokesman Ricardo
Biasatti described the attack as a rarity.
