Authorities say a man has been bitten multiple times by a shark on North Carolina’s Outer Banks, the fifth such attack in the past two weeks.
Multiple media outlets reported that a 47-year-old man was bitten on the back on Friday while he was in the surf off Avon on Hatteras Island.
WVEC-TV in Norfolk, Virginia, reported the man was being transported to a hospital there.
Several children have been the victims of shark attacks along North Carolina’s coast this month including a 13-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy who both lost limbs about 90 minutes apart at Oak Island.
An eight-year-old boy suffered minor injuries when he was bitten on Wednesday.
As I recall, the summer of ’01 had a lot of shark attacks.
