Fisherman injured by boat propeller
A FISHING trip in the Cape turned sour for a 32-year-old man this morning after he fell out of the boat and had his buttocks cut up by the propeller.
The keen angler was fishing near Musgrave Station, about 100km from Coen, when he slipped and fell from the boat.
He sustained deep cuts to his buttocks after he came into contact with the boat's propeller.
Paramedics and Musgrave Station management treated the man for lacerations to his buttocks and upper thigh.
