Ankle Biter! Shark Attacks Surfer In South Africa!

Surfer Brendan Denton, 35, was attacked by a shark at a Port Alfred beach yesterday.

All the beaches in the area have been closed until further notice.

Denton was surfing at East Beach at about 10am yesterday when he felt a tug at his feet and realized it was a shark.

“I tried to fight the shark off, but it became (more) aggressive and started dragging me by the feet under the water,” Denton said.

Friends and other surfers helped him to get to a doctor.

Paramedics on the scene had said Denton may need to have the tendons on his feet and on the insides of both ankles re-attached. Yeouch!
