A piranha has attacked two residents of Liuzhou, in the southeast Chinese province of Guangxi. One of the men was attacked while bathing his dog in the Liujiang River.
The piranha reportedly bit into his hand and only let go when he slammed it on the ground.
The fish survived and attacked his friend, who started teasing it.
The victim then took the piranha home and discovered, through Internet research, that the species was native to the Amazon and Paraguay Rivers in South America.
