Beach Fun Turn Bloody As Shark Bites Teenager’s Manhood
A teenager had his beach fun turned to sorrowful experience as shark ripped off his manhood as he swam in the sea in Brazil.
According to nationalhelm,Jose Ernestor da Silva was attacked yesterday afternoon while bathing in waters off the Piedade beach near Recife, on Brazil’s northeast coast.
The shark struck just as lifeguards stationed on the beach had told the 18-year-old to come closer to the shore, according to reports.
A shocking video taken by a passer-by shows the moment other holidaymakers pulled Jose from the sea before emergency crews arrived.
An ambulance rushed Jose to a hospital, where he reportedly suffered two heart attacks and is in a critical condition.
Despite undergoing emergency surgery, his p*nis and femur were “amputated” by the bite of what is believed to be a tiger shark, according to medics.
Rodrigo Matias, from Recife’s fire department, said Mr Ferreira was swimming with his brother and friends in deep waters near the shore, in an area marked by signs warning of shark attacks.
Seeing that the group was drifting further out, lifeguards called for them to return to shallower waters.
Ambulance medic Wagner Monteiro said Mr Ferreira had a heart attack after arriving at the local Aeronautica Hospital, and another as he was being transported to the Restauracao Hospital in the centre of Recife.
A spokesman for the Restauracao Hospital said Jose, who turned 18 in March, was rushed into surgery after arriving at the hospital at 5.53pm. Doctors will give a report on his condition later today (mon).
Jose’s mother Elisangela dos Anjos, 42, told Brazil’s JC Online website that he had gone to the beach without her knowing, and she only knew about after his brother Ezequiel, who was with him, called her from the beach following the attack.
