Piranha bite in Norway

NOVEMBER in Norway is full of hazards. Ice-slicked streets, moose on the roads and fierce cold.

So when a woman turned up with a nasty cut on her finger at an emergency room at an Oslo hospital, doctors were surprised to learn that the cause was not an upset house cat or a stray dog.

It was a piranha.

Helle Hogner was bitten while at work at Oslo’s Reptile Park and showing visitors how to feed the fish.
