An 8-year-old boy who was bitten on the leg by a shark in North Carolina yesterday was taken to hospital and is expected to survive, local authorities said.
The injuries sustained did not require assistance from an air ambulance, but McCall said the child had multiple puncture wounds. It is not known what type of shark attacked him. The victim's brother, Ethan Reed, told ABC11:"He said 'yo, I got bit by a shark!' And Austin is one to goof around a lot so Tyler thought he was just kidding. And he looked at his foot and realized he wasn't." Reed was expected to make a full recovery, medical officials said.injured in a shark attack close to Fort Macon State Park
