AN UNLUCKY beachgoer was left writhing on the sand in agony after his genitals were jabbed by a stingray's barbed tail.
The unnamed holidaymaker was enjoying a sunny day in the tropical city of Sanya, south China, when the freak accident occurred on Saturday.
Footage from the beach shows the tourist winching in pain as a crowd including police gathers around to see his assess his injuries.
Having just taken a dip in the sea, the man reportedly ran back onto the beach crying in pain after the stingray's barbed tail found its way into his swim shorts and hooked onto his genitals.
The video shows him lying prone on the sand with the stingray, the exact type of which was not reported, nearby.
A member of the Sanya fire service said he and his colleagues did not have the proper equipment to unhook the spiny tail from the man's privates.
The fireman said: "On the paramedic's advice, we cut off the barbs with our tools."
The unfortunate tourist is said to have been able to stand immediately afterwards but soon followed the paramedics to hospital for a check-up.
It is unclear whether the man was ever at risk of venom exposure, while the ray is thought to have died on the beach, witnesses said.
