An ordinary aquarium cleaning finished with bloodshed

[This appeared in the english-language version of "Pravda", russian
newspaper]

A woman from the city of Saransk fell prey to piranhas, which lived
in her own aquarium. According to Inrefax-Povolzhie news agency, the
woman went to an acute care station of Saransk asking physicians to take
off a wedding ring from her swollen finger. An examination showed that
the edema and festering of a hand were provoked by*violent bites. The
old lady admitted that she had suffered from that attack of aquarium
fish. The pensioner decided to please her son by cleaning his aquarium
while he himself was away. The poor lady didn't suppose that her son had
acquired piranhas for his fish tank. She started catching the fish by
hand. But the predatory fish showed resistance and tore out pieces of
flesh from two fingers of the victim's left hand.
The physicians provided her with the necessary help. Pax
Vobiscum,...~Dean.
