Excruciating moment man howls in agony as a CRAB clamps down on his genitals for over a minute after swimming in Thai pond

A screaming swimmer is fished from the water with a crab stuck to his genitals //The SUN

 

Poor bloke's pals don't seem in any great hurry to help their weeping friend as crustacean latches onto his trunks

 

A MAN yelps in agony as he is lifted from the water with a crab pinching his genitals. Pals are filmed slowly trying to help the weeping swimmer as the crustacean latches onto his manhood.

 

The tear-jerking footage, uploaded from Thailand, has been widely shared on social media.

 

In it, the poor bloke is seen being pulled from a muddy pond with his legs spread wide. It soon emerges what is causing him such excruciating pain.

Ive heard about how annoying and painful getting crabs "down there" can be. Cant say I envy this chap much. Gave me a good laugh early in the morning though.

Must have been a coconut crab.  It spotted a lovely bunch and latched on.

Sorry but i think this was staged, if he was in so much agony why were the 2 people holding him up for the photo, and not trying to get the crab off?

In keeping with the quality of the rubbish newspaper it's being reported in.

I find no humour in the pain and misery of others.

Agreed, but the story would appeal to Sun readers, a low brow chav-rag bordering on the neanderthalic , where anything to do with breasts and genitals is 'funny'.

Agreed, certainly not Thai language or style of screaming but a gripping tale nevertheless.

Small thing to get upset about.

Swimming in a pond that may have snakes and sh!t. He was brave. They called him "ballsy"

 

They now now call him ball-less.

I'm so sorry, I told my little pet crab many times to 'go for the throat' but she won't listen.
