10-year-old surfer seriously injured in Hawaii shark attack

A 10-year-old boy was also attacked by a shark in Florida at Cocoa Beach.

The Tiverton native moved to Oahu about four years ago and was attacked by the 13-foot tiger shark off the island’s North Shore on October 10. He will also discuss the possibility of getting a prosthetic leg.

“If you look at the glass half empty, you can go down a dark path. I’m trying to look at the glass half full”.

Capt. Kelly Krohne, off-duty lifeguard who was surfing nearby, witnessed the attack.

An emergency medical services spokeswoman said the unidentified victim sustained serious injuries to his right leg, including puncture wounds indicating a shark bite. “I got hit!'”, Krohne told CBS Affiliate KGMB.

Krohne reportedly brought the injured boy to shore.

Wednesday’s incident is the seventh reported shark attack in Hawaii this year – the third in Oahu this month.

Officials are investigating a possible shark attack in waters off Hawaii that left a 10-year-old boy seriously injured. The woman was in 20- to 35-foot-deep waters, and was about 200 yards offshore.

On January 27, a 20-year-old Maui man was bit by a shark he had caught while fishing in Lahaina.
