Giulia Manfrini, 36, was stabbed by a swordfish’s bill while surfing in the waters of Masokut Island in the Mentawai Islands, which are located off the west coast of Sumatra, according to the Antara News Agency in Indonesia.
Lahmudin Siregar, the acting head of the Mentawai Islands’ Disaster Management organization, informed the news source that the mishap involving an Italian person surfing was reported to his organization.
In the waters of Ombak Bengbeng, Masokut Island in the Southwest Siberut District, he claimed that Manfrini was seeking waves when a swordfish suddenly leaped toward him and stuck it right.
According to information Antara received from Siberut Police, Manfrini waved to Alexandre Ribas and Massimo Ferro, two witnesses who were also foreign nationals, to request assistance.
