Basil D Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/teens-51-stitches-in-savage-fish-attack/story-e6freuy9-1225887430589 A 14-YEAR-old girl shows her horrific scars after a 1.2 metre-long barracuda leapt out of the sea and clamped on to her arm. Koral Wira was sitting on her family's yacht when the fish with razor-sharp teeth "flew across the boat like a bullet". Her mother Dina Parker said yesterday the attack was "like something out of Jaws". Dad Rob had been fishing when the barracuda was attracted by his bait - and flung itself towards Koral. He said: "The fish took my shark bait but then jumped out of the water, right at my daughter. "It's the craziest thing that's ever happened in my life. "After the barracuda attacked Koral it was briefly on its side. "I killed it with a fillet knife by stabbing it in the head - before it killed one of us." Koral needed 51 stitches and had bite marks from her elbow to her wrist after the attack near Venice, Florida. Dina said her daughter's arm had been left "looking like raw hamburger". Craziest thing Ive ever seen, I reckon a shark chased it causing the damm thing to leap into the boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
