Eyewitnesses Describe the Chaos
Beachgoers watched in horror as the attack unfolded. "It was like something out of a nightmare," said one witness. "One moment everything was calm, and the next, there was blood in the water."
Emergency Response
Emergency services were quick to respond, with paramedics and lifeguards working together to stabilise the victim before airlifting them to a nearby trauma centre. The beach was immediately closed, and authorities are now patrolling the area.
Shark Safety Warnings
