Surfer Hospitalized After Cali Shark Attack!
Sunday, October 30th, 2011
A 27-year-old California surfer suffered multiple injuries after being attacked by a shark in Monterery County on Saturday.
The Monterey Herald reports Eric Tarantino was attacked about 7 a.m. Saturday while surfing with a friend at Marina State Beach.
The surfers had been in the water for about 10 minutes when the shark bit Tarantino on the neck and right forearm.
Tarantino’s friend, Brandon McKibben of Salinas, Calif., helped him out of the water, and other surfers rushed to apply a tourniquet by using beach towels to try to stop his bleeding, according to the newspaper.
Authorities say Tarantino was taken to a local airport by paramedics and flown to a San Jose hospital.
