In an incident akin to the movie, a carnivorous school of piranha’s attacked a group of beach-goers in Argentina on Christmas Day.
Basically, it’s your worst nightmare come true.
The attack occurred at a local beach on the banks of the Parana River, in the city of Rosario, central Argentina.
More than 60 people were hurt in the Christmas Day attack, including seven children.
Among the wounded was a seven-year-old girl who suffered severe bites to her left hand, according to local newspaper La Capital.
The girl was taken to hospital where she had part of a finger amputated, the newspaper reported.
Other victims were bitten on the arms, feet and legs, but these weren’t nibbles. Paramedic Gustavo Centurion described the piranhas as “very aggressive.”
Authorities believe the attacked was spurred by unusually high temperatures in Argentina. They have since closed the beach.
And we have since had bad dreams. So thanks, Argentinian piranhas.
