Boy, 7 years old, loses arm in a crocodile attack in front of the horrified family during the fishing trip
A boy lost his arm after being attacked by a Crocodile during a fishing trip in South Africa.
Johandre Blom, 7 years old, was in the dryer of the Roodekopjes dam, near the British, on Friday when he was suddenly dragged under the water.
His parents were notified some surprise attack by his friend Dylan’s screams, 9 years old, who was desperately trying to cling to Johandré’s arm to prevent him from being pulled below.
Johandre Corné’s father rushed into the water to grab the boy who had been shot in a death shot by “huge” thought who thought he was three meters long.
Jannie Bekker, Dylan’s father, helped pull the boy from the water. Describing the attack in Newspaper Karmarant, he said: “Dylan screamed and grabbed Johandré trying to remove him from crocodile.
“At this point the crocodile had already made Johandré run about three times. Corné is a great man, and while clinging to Johandré, he was also shot.”
Bekker said that when Corné raised Johandré out of the water, they saw that his “arm was disappeared”.
“I grabbed Johandrè and put it aside. There were towels that lay nearby I took and I pressed the wound. Then I ran in the car with him,” he said Maroela Media.
“Amanda had already come into the car and was shouting” Bring My Child “”.
One of Johandré’s friends reported a boat in the water to see if he could recover his friend’s arm and the crocodile attacked again. The reptile has not yet been captured by the authorities, said a family spokesman.
Fundraraiser for the Johandré hospitalThe Bills are trying to collect a million South African rand (£ 42,000).
Organizer Juan Van der Merwe said The Independent That Johandré had just woken up from an induced coma from a medical point of view while his parents Corné and Amanda kept a clock close to his hospital bed.
He said: “Johandré is a very strong boy. All the time he was waiting for an ambulance that was conscious. He is so courageous. He loves fishing and going outdoors and has always been a happy child.
“A crocodile of that dimensions could kill an adult. It is a miracle that has survived.”
