On the Australian east coast, a woman was attacked by a shark and seriously injured on the right leg. The animal attacked his victim at noon (local time) in Gunyah Beach, south of Sydney’s metropolis, as the local emergency services announced. The woman was flown to the hospital in critical condition with a rescue helicopter.
Eyewitnesses have heard the screams of the approximately 50-year-olds and, despite the danger, hurried to help, Andrew Bibby told the NSW ambulance of the emergency situation. Otherwise the injured person would probably not have succeeded in saving himself from the water, he emphasized. The rescuers also provided first aid before the emergency doctors arrived.
The rescue organization Westpac Life Saver reported on the incident on the short message platform X:
“What the people who helped her before we arrived were absolutely remarkable,” said Bibby. The victim is said to have brought serious wounds and has lost a lot of blood. The first care providers tried to bind the bleeding with towels.
Anrainer reported Bull Sharks
In the beginning it was not known what kind of shark it was. The Omroep 9News reported, referring to residents that bull sharks were recently seen in the region. Together with white sharks and tiger sharks, this species are considered one of the most dangerous species of predator fish.
Recently, shark attacks in Australia, especially in the tropical state of Queensland further north. In February a 17-year-old was fatally injured in the Sand Island of Bribie Island near Brisbane. In December a man was killed by one of the predator fish at the Javelin fishing near Humpy Island in the Great Barrier Reef.
