While waiting in the departure hall on the ground floor, Arun was resting on a recliner when suddenly a rat entered his pants. In panic, he grabbed the rat from outside, but it bit him behind his knee. He quickly removed his pants and caught the rat.
Even tetanus shot wasn’t available
Hearing their cries, airport staff rushed to the spot and took him to the medical room. However, there was no rabies vaccine was available.
Arun contacted his doctor, who advised him to take the rabies injection immediately. The airport doctor only gave him a prescription, after which he got the injection in Bengaluru.
