Second Sydney Shark Attack in Two Days!!
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
A surfer, known only as Glen, 33, of Dover Heights, suffered some serious damage to his arm when he was attacked by a shark while surfing off South Bondi Beach today… just 36 hours after a navy diver was mauled off Woolloomooloo, in Sydney Harbour.
“Glen” was able to get back on his board and catch a wave to shore where fellow surfer James McIntosh tied a leg rope around his arm to stop the bleeding.
According to witnesses, you could see bones… and a bit of skin was all that connected the surfer’s left hand to his arm. Ew.
Nobody was able to identify the size or type of shark involved.
