Truong Thi Tanh, 60, living at Ghenh Rang Ward said, “At about 5.30 this morning, I went to the beach with three friends. After about half an hour, I was attacked at my feet and ankles causing me to panic and scream, I looked down and noticed a lot of blood.”
Nguyen Thi Thu Thao, 52, who lives at Nguyen Van Cu Ward, is being treated at the Recuperation & Emergency Department. She said that her left leg was bitten by sting ray when she was about 5 metres from the beach.
“I stopped swimming in the sea for several months since I heard many people were attacked. Lately, the weather became very hot, so we went to the beach. Two of us were attacked. I will not dare to go to the beach again for the rest of my life,” added Thao.
The attacks have happened to many people at Quy Nhon beach. A shark suspected of attacking several people was caught recently by a farmer.
