The 46-year-old victim was bitten on the torso, left arm and hand about 90 metres from shore. He suffered significant but not life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
A man survived a shark attack by punching it in the face before being rescued by other swimmers at a popular California beach, a witness has said. The 46-year-old was in the water with a group at Del Mar City Beach near San Diego when he was bitten on the torso, left arm and hand about 90m from shore. One of the swimmers, Jenna Veal, was behind the victim during the attack and told Sky's US partner network NBC News she heard him scream for help. 'He punched it in the face.
A drone and a boat were deployed to look for the shark afterwards with no success. 'The water visibility was really poor,' said Mr Edelbrock. 'You just can't see anything that's moving through the water column at all. The exact moment of the incident was really the only interaction with, or sighting of, the shark.
