New shark attack: Man seriously injured, beach closed
A man in his 50s was seriously injured in a shark attack at Glenfield Beach, north of Geraldton in Western Australia, and was rushed to hospital.
According to authorities, the man was surfing at the beach at around 9:45 a.m. local time when he was bitten by a shark, ABC reported.
A spokesperson for Western Australia’s health service said the injured man was in serious but stable condition.
Officials removed the badly damaged surfboard from the scene, and it is being examined to determine the species of shark involved.
The beach has been closed, and residents have been urged to avoid the area.
Geraldton MP and Assistant Minister for Fisheries Kirrily Vare said she was seeking further details about the incident from authorities and the government.
Two fatal shark attacks have occurred in Western Australia this year.
Thirty-eight-year-old Perth man Steven Mataboni was killed in May while spearfishing off Rottnest Island, while in early June, a 35-year-old diver, Daniel Turpin, was killed by a 4.5-meter-long shark near Michaelmas Island, off the coast of Albany.
