13 Year Old Girl Attacked By Shark
A surfer has told of his horror as he watched a five-metre white pointer shark repeatedly attack a teenage girl this afternoon on Tasmania's east coast. The 13-year-old girl was surfing at Baileys Rocks at Binalong Bay when the attack happened. Ian Hollingsworth was surfing 20 to 40 metres away and saw the attack, and the efforts of the girl's male cousin to protect her. "It was basically a scene out of 'Jaws'," he said. "The shark went around and I saw it actually come out of the water and hit her. "It then went around, I believe I saw her going backwards, and she was screaming. "The guy was just fighting to save her. All the time the shark was circling." The girl has injuries to her lower right leg, but they are not believed to be life-threatening.  ·  · |

Re: 13 Year Old Girl Attacked By Shark
Can't blame the shark. She was surfing in his home! He doesn't like being disturbed obviously. Swim in shark infested water..you might get bitten!! |
