Man hooked while eating Fish

A man in China got a fish hook stuck in his tongue while eating fish at a restaurant. Mr Pei, of Shanghai city, thought his tongue had been pierced by a fish bone at first. Later he found that it was a fish hook!

"I tried to take the bone out, but I felt metal with my tongue, and had blood all over my hand," he told Laodong Daily.

He was taken to a nearby hospital where doctors removed a 1cm fish hook from his tongue. A hospital spokesman said: "He should recover soon, but his eating will be restricted for the next few days."

The Chinese restaurant has agreed to pay an undisclosed amount of compensation to Mr Pei. Link
