In a shocking incident that seems more like a horror film than reality, seven swimmers were viciously attacked by piranhas in Switzerland's Lake Biel, leaving a trail of bloody injuries including a baby who lost part of a toe.
The Horror Unfolds
The tranquil waters of the popular swimming spot turned into a scene of panic and terror as the carnivorous fish launched their unexpected assault. Emergency services rushed to the scene following multiple distress calls from terrified swimmers.
Youngest Victim's Trauma
Most disturbingly, among the injured was an infant who suffered such severe bites that the child lost a toe in the attack. The baby was immediately transported to hospital for emergency treatment alongside other victims bearing multiple bite wounds.
Emergency Response
Local authorities have launched a major operation to capture the dangerous fish, with police warning the public to avoid swimming in the affected area. "This is an extremely unusual and dangerous situation," stated a local official. "We are taking all necessary measures to ensure public safety."
Mystery of the Piranhas
Investigators are now trying to determine how the South American predators ended up in the Swiss lake. The leading theory suggests someone illegally released pet piranhas into the wild, with devastating consequences.
Marine experts warn that releasing exotic pets into local ecosystems can have catastrophic results, as this terrifying incident has clearly demonstrated. The search continues for any remaining piranhas while victims recover from their traumatic ordeal.
