SYDNEY, May 10 — A French surfer has survived a shark attack in Australia with only minor leg injuries by punching it twice, local media reported. Dylan Nacass, 23, was surfing at Bells Beach, about 1.5 hours from Melbourne, when the shark attacked on Friday, Nine News said. Nacass told Nine the shark latched onto his leg until he punched it twice and he was released from its jaws.Local man Matt Sedunary rushed to the Frenchman’s aid after realising he was in distress.
“He started screaming — I honestly thought he was joking around with his friends,” he told Nine, adding he “wasn’t going to ditch him”.The incident was captured by Australian man Graham Blade, who was filming from a nearby lookout at the world-famous surf break.Nacass walked away with only puncture wounds to his right leg that required stitches.There were 27 maulings but no fatalities off Australia last year, according to data from Sydney’s Taronga Zoo.“I really want to go back soon,” he said.
