A man was horrifically injured when things went disastrously wrong on a fishing trip.

In this gruesome footage, the angler can been seen with the dart from a spear gun impaled through the neck.

The man, thought to be Russian Angler Baatr Dalantaev, was rushed to hospital with the spike protruding from the flesh between his shoulder and his jaw.

In the film, Mr Dalantaev is still in his wetsuit as he is examined by a doctor.

He doesn't appear to disturbed by his terrible wound - but could be in some form of shock.

It is not clear if he will suffer any permanent damage from the nasty accident.

The graphic video emerged on social media where it has shocked viewers.

It was shared on a fishing Facebook page with the title ‘Choose your spearing buddies wisely… hope all is well with this spear'.

The video has emerged after a spearfisher was forced to kill a shark as the predator suddenly swam straight towards him.

Video footage of two Australian men swimming off the coast of Queensland shows the moment he shot the shark with his spear.

Looking down into the water, they see a school of bronze whaler sharks circling below, and decide to swim back to their boat.

But before they can get out of the water, the man filming the swim looks back down into the water - and sees one of the sharks heading straight towards him.
