Camel Chomps on Man's Hand at Upper Marlboro Church's Christmas Show: Report
An ambulance was reportedly called, and then canceled, after a camel bit a man's arm during pre-production work at the church.
UPPER MARLBORO, MD — Prince George's County emergency responders reportedly headed to a church hosting a Christmas show on Saturday for a most unusual call: medical attention needed for a camel bite.
An ambulance was requested after a caller indicated a camel had bitten a man on the arm during preparations for a production at Evangel Cathedral in the 13000 block of Central Avenue, according to a Washington Post report.
It obviously wasn't too serious of an injury, however, because the ambulance was canceled before it arrived, the report stated.
