A circus performer was airlifted to a hospital after his colleague missed her target and hit him in the neck with an arrow while performing in New York, according to authorities.The incident happened as Edwin Cuervo Rangel, 38, and Ana Daza Tavera, 42, were performing at the Orange County Fair in the town of Wallkill at around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, New York State Police said in a press release.
Cuervo Rangel and Daza Tavera are married, according to News 12.
The two performers from Wisconsin were doing a stunt when Daza Tavera shot an arrow at a foam target that Cuervo Rangel was holding, according to police.
The arrow struck and injured Cuervo Rangel, police said.
Cuervo Rangel was airlifted to Westchester Medical Center in stable condition.
No other injuries were reported.
A ringmaster for the traveling show company, Circus Murcia, later said the arrow hit Cuervo Rangel in his neck.
"Well, last night, unfortunately, when she shot the crossbow, it caught him in his neck," Circus Murcia Ringmaster Benjamin Jackson told News 12.
"The good news is, she caught him right at the very corner of the neck. There was no blood, nothing," he added.
Circus Murcia owner Alexander Murcia said Cuervo Rangel is expected to make a full recovery.

More range time needed. Bet they’ll be a little nervous next time they put on this act.

Is the circus going to pay for his medical bills, or is he going to get the shaft?
