Shark bite injury to a Florida teenager attending a lifeguard training program

During a lifeguard training camp on Monday morning, a Florida youngster was bitten by a shark on the leg, according to authorities.

Officials from Volusia County Beach Safety claimed that the attack happened just before noon close to the Ponce Inlet lifeguard tower. The 14-year-old youngster landed on a shark when he was practicing water entry.

Officials stated that the injuries sustained by the teenager were not deemed to be life-threatening. In order to acquire sutures, his parents took him to the hospital.

The attack that took place on Monday comes just a few days after two other bite incidences that took place in New Smyrna Beach, which is located close.

On Friday, a man who was 26 years old was bitten on the foot while he was floating in an innertube, and on Thursday, a man who was 21 years old was bitten when he was playing football in shallow water.(News Source)
