A man has died after being attacked by a shark in Western Australia.
Police were called to Cable Beach, a popular tourist spot on Australia’s Indian Ocean coast, at about 8.40am. The man, 55, was pulled from the water with serious injuries and treated by police before paramedics arrived.Police said they later shot at the shark, which lingered close to the shore, for almost half an hour after the attack.
The species of shark has not been confirmed but locals told reporters it may have been a tiger shark, which are sometimes drawn close to the shore by shoals of small fish.Kimberley District Office police inspector Gene Pears told reporters the victim had been body boarding about 30 to 40 metres from the beach when he was attacked.
A couple on the beach saw thrashing in the water and rushed to drag the man to safety. The man suffered injuries to his leg and hand.
