Boy's arm severed after he stuck it out of a bus in Brazil

A 14-year-old boy’s arm has been severed after he stuck his arm out the window of a moving bus in Brazil.

The boy was returning home from a church service on Sunday when his arm struck a lamppost, TNH1 reported.

His upper limb fell onto a nearby street, where it was then put on ice by fire department officials in the hope it could be re-attached.

He was then transported by helicopter to a nearby hospital.  

The hospital has not confirmed whether the boy’s severed appendage has been re-connected.
