A surfer was bit by a shark in Florida’s Volusia County, marking its fourth attack this year
A surfer was bit by a shark while swimming in Florida on Friday.
The 22-year-old was in the waters in New Smyrna Beach around 5 p.m. when she was bit on the foot by a shark while in chest deep water, according to Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue Captain Tamra Malphurs.
The woman, from Sanford, Florida, did not see the shark and suffered non-life threatening injuries from the bite, Malphurs told CNN.
“She was not transported to the hospital by ambulance,” Malphurs said.
The incident comes just one week after an 11-year-old boy was also bit on the foot in New Smyrna Beach. This is the fourth shark bite in Volusia County so far this year, according to Malphurs.
