A 52-year-old man was following a pack of about 30 otters from a 2-metre distance to take videos during his morning run.
He ended up being bitten on the calf when one of the otters attacked him, according to The Straits Times.
The man, Mr Ang said that he was having his morning run at Kallang Riverside Park on 4 April.
He then saw a large group of about 30 otters and followed them from a distance when one of the otters lunged at him.
He said that he was a little shocked when the otter turned toward him, and that his instinct told him to stay still, thinking that nothing would happen – he never expected the otter to bite him.
His leg bled but he didn’t think the injury was serious enough to warrant an ambulance, so he washed his wound at a nearby toilet.
He then took a bus towards Raffles Hospital where he got a tetanus shot, as well as an x-ray; he also received 5 days medical leave.
