A 20-year-old tourist visiting Hawaii was found 'bleeding profusely' after a suspected shark attack on Monday afternoon, authorities said. The man, who was visiting from Romania, was swimming about 15 to 20 feet offshore at Anaeho‘omalu Bay in Waikoloa on Hawaii’s Big Island, the Hawaii Police Department said. Around 5:30 p.m.
The victim and two other swimmers near him did not see any signs of a shark in the water, though medical personnel confirmed the injuries were consistent with a shark bite, according to police. Police said there were no plans to close Anaeho‘omalu Bay immediately following the suspected shark attack. The incident comes one day after a shark killed a respected lifeguard as he was surfing off the island of Oahu.
Tamayo Perry, 49, a City and County of Honolulu Ocean Safety lifeguard, died from the shark bites near Goat Island, emergency officials said. Perry was a professional surfer and an actor who appeared in the movies 'Blue Crush' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' and had a role in an episode of 'Hawaii Five-0.
