Ambulance workers cut the fish from her body at Itanhaem resort in Sao Paulo, after snapping these strange pictures, the UK’s Mirror reports.
However, they were forced to leave the serrated spine of the fin in her body. The woman was taken to hospital where an operation was required to remove it.
Marcelo Araujo posted the photos on his Facebook page and 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.”
Araujo said that he’d never seen anything like it.
“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.”
