A boy was attacked by a shark at Cabarita Beach on Sunday, and he is now receiving serious arm injuries in the hospital.
A suspected Great White shark bit a teenage boy after he was bitten by it at a beach in New South Wales, which TV hosts Ant and Dec frequent.
After the attack, Australian emergency services were called to Cabarita Beach, between Tweed Heads and Byron Bay, at 3.50pm on Sunday.
Surfers and two off-duty paramedics rushed to the boy’s aid, reportedly using a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter airlifted the teen to Gold Coast University Hospital with “serious but stable” injuries to his arms and hands.
ITV hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, have regularly been spotted enjoying downtime at Cabarita Beach in Australia during the filming of ” I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!”.
They were photographed enjoying lunch together at a nearby cafe, as well as regularly swimming at the beach with their families.
Shark fatalities are uncommon in NSW, Australia, but it’s thought there have been three since 2021.
A 17-year-old girl was killed by a shark while swimming at a well-known tourist destination on Bribie Island, north of Brisbane, just weeks prior to the recent attack.
Charlize Zmuda, the victim of life-threatening upper body injuries, was treated immediately at the scene by emergency personnel. She later passed away tragically.
After the incident, her devastated family decided to concentrate on the “incredible life she lived and not the awful way she died.”
In a statement, they stated that Charlotte was a “brilliant light who truly touched the lives of everyone she met.”
At the time of the scenes’ devastation, local Chris Potter said to the Courier Mail: “People initially believed she had just been caught in a rip.”
It shocked me, I must say.
