A passenger was stung by a scorpion aboard a United Airlines flight in a bizarre incident that prompted an emergency response.

The unidentified woman, who was flying from San Francisco to Atlanta, said she was stung by the venomous creature while midair.

She felt a stinging sensation on her leg, prompting her to go to the restroom, TMZ reports. The woman said a live scorpion then dropped out of her pant leg and crawled across the floor before being caught by flight attendants.

In a statement provided to KPIX, United said: “Upon landing in Atlanta, the flight was met by medical personnel. The customer was transported to a local hospital. We have been in contact with our customer to ensure her well-being.”
