A tourist was rushed to Hospital in Brazil who had catfish stuck to her stomach while swimming in the resort of Itanhaem in the state of Sao Paulo. the picture was taken by Marcelo Araujo an ambulance worker.
A microsurgery was used to take out the fin to avoid her flesh being ripped out.
Marcelo who post the picture on facebook wrote "A rare occurrence. A swimmer is hit by a fish."
"We were alerted to an incident where an object had penetrated a swimmer's stomach and when we got there, discovered it was a fish.
"She was in a lot of pain. We didn't remove the spine because only a doctor can do this. We took her to hospital so she could have microsurgery.
"Generally we deal with people who have stood on fish or have cut a finger touching one, but I've never seen a catfish stuck to someone's stomach. It was definitely a first."
