What an awesome prospect...Experts fear Britain could be facing a deadly invasion of killer piranha after a Kent angler hooked one of the Amazonian fang-fish in a Folkestone pond - thousands of miles from its natural habitat where gangs of them regularly strip the flesh from their victims in a terrifying frenzy of teeth and foaming water. That's according to the Sun, which reports that 46-year-old Derek Plum narrowly avoided having his arm taken off by a 1lb 4oz piscine death machine in the town's Radnor Park.

There wasn't anything in that article that suggested someone had nearly lost their arm. I was wondering how many times the man would have had to stick his arm in the mouth of a single 1lb 4 oz fish to get it ripped off.
