A teenage boy is in critical condition after being attacked by a shark in the Sydney Harbour shortly after jumping off a rock.
Emergency services were called to the city’s east to reports of a shark attack around 4.20pm on Sunday. The boy was pulled out of the water after his heroic friends jumped in to save him near Shark Beach, police said.
Water Police officers attached two medical tourniquets before administering first aid on board a police vessel. The teenager was taken by boat to nearby Rose Bay Wharf, where he was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics for serious leg injuries sustained in the attack.
A short time later, he was transported by road to Sydney Children’s Hospital, where the teen remains in a critical condition.
A ‚Horrendous‘ Scene
Water Police Superintendent Joseph McNulty called the scene „horrendous“ after tourniquets were applied to both the boy’s legs to stop the bleeding.
