Six-year-old Xiao Li came to the store with her grandmother and aunt. The girl was interested in an aquarium with sharks, sea bass and turtles, set there for the entertainment of buyers. When she leaned against the glass to better view its inhabitants, the fish jumped out of the water and grabbed her hand, reports South China Morning Post.

As a result, Xiao Li received nine right hand fractures and wounds up to 5 centimeters. If the healing goes bad, surgery may be necessary.

The manager of the shopping center said that the child himself provoked the attack when he put his hand in the aquarium. As he said, it is visible on the frames taken by the surveillance camera. South China Morning Post notes that in reality the video does not allow to distinguish whether the girl's hand was in the water.
