A PENSIONER is in a critical condition after he was stabbed in the chest by a stingray that jumped into his boat. James Bertakis, 81, was boating with his adult granddaughter and her friend yesterday afternoon when the rare attack occurred. The women were able to steer the boat back to Mr Bertakis' home in Lighthouse Point, Florida, where they called authorities. Australian Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, 44, died on September 4 when a stingray's barb pierced his chest while he was filming a TV show on the Great Barrier Reef. "It was a freak accident," said fire chief David Donzella. "It's very odd that the thing jumped out of the water and stung him. We still can't believe it." Mr Bertakis was conscious when paramedics arrived.
