NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. — Three surfers suffered shark bites in separate attacks over a three-hour period in the same area of a Florida beach.
The attacks began Sunday morning when the Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue agency says a 43-year-old man was bitten on the lower leg or ankle while surfing. About a half hour later, a 36-year-old old man was bitten on the hands. Both men were hospitalized.
About two hours after that, the agency says a 16-year-old boy was bitten on his inner thigh. He had only a minor injury and wasn’t taken to the hospital.
All the bites came near a jetty in an area well-known for shark activity.
Afterward, beach safety officials instructed beachgoers not to go in the water above their knees.
TORONTO — The news reports coming in from Grand Bahama and the Abaco Islands are heartbreaking, and the images even more so.
