Shark attacks surfer on Mornington Peninsula
A surfer has been attacked by a shark at Flinders on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
Police say the man was surfing with friends about 50 metres off the beach when he was pushed off his board at 6:00pm AEDT.
The man was bitten on the lower left leg.
He was driven to the Rosebud Hospital by his friends.
Acting Sergeant Jim Martin says his injuries are not life threatening.
“There’s two teeth marks, each one about four to five inches long,” he said.
“The sighting of the shark from the people that were down there was approximately six-foot long, but obviously we don’t know what type of shark it was.”
The surfer told Southern Cross radio he fought back when he realised what was happening.
"This thing just came up and grabbed my leg and sort of ripped me off
my board and then I don’t know … I just sort of got back up and sort
of saw it again and just punched it real hard," he said.
