A five-year-old girl almost lost her hand after she was ravaged by a shark at a shopping centre.
The little child was with her gran when the accident happened, in the Chinese city of Guiyang.
CCTV captured the girl putting her hand into the tank and everyone else moved away and the shark approached.
The little girl appeared to be completely unaware of the danger she was in.
The shark gripped her hand in its jaws before she managed to break free and run to her relatives nearby.
She was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery.
Doctor Hong Xiao, with the Guizhou Orthopedics Hospital, said the young patient suffered nine wounds on her right hand from the bite, the worst of which was a two-inch laceration on the back of her index finger.
