Circus performer accidentally shot in neck with arrow at New York county fair
The performer was airlifted in stable condition after the accident, and the circus canceled that night’s show while state police investigate.
- On Friday night, circus performer Edwin Cuervo Rangel was accidentally shot in the neck by an arrow at the Orange County Fair in Middletown, New York, struck by his partner Ana Daza Tavera during their crossbow sharpshooting act.
- The Orange County Fair, New York's oldest, has operated for 186 years, while Circus Murcia was added to the Empire State Fair lineup this year as a featured attraction.
- Airlifted to a hospital in stable condition, Cuervo Rangel was released Saturday after the arrow was safely removed and he received stitches, Benjamin Jackson, ringmaster at Circus Murcia, confirmed.
- Jackson confirmed Cuervo Rangel was "walking around, talking, eating, enjoying life," noting the arrow struck soft tissue on the side of his neck, avoiding major blood vessels.
- Circus Murcia resumed its regular schedule of three shows a day on Saturday, though the troupe removed the crossbow act from performances following the incident.
