About ninety meters out from the coast, the 46-year-old was bit on the hand, left arm, and chest while swimming with a group at Del Mar City Beach, close to San Diego.
Jenna Veal, a swimmer who was behind the victim during the incident, told News, that she heard him scream for assistance.
“He struck it across the face. She said on show, “He punched it in the nose.”
“I do know he had a gash on his hand from a shark’s tooth.”
A passing emergency room doctor stopped to help after the gang had hauled the man back to shore.
A “massive all-hands-on-deck movement of support” was described by Ms. Veal, who also stated that the sufferer remained aware and is anticipated to recover.
“When we saw the guy, like, swim back it was really shocking,” an additional eyewitness told the show.
When they received the alarm, lifeguards were getting ready for the day on the beach.
The man, an ocean swimmer who exercises at the beach frequently, was rushed to a hospital for treatment after suffering serious but non-life-threatening injuries, according to city officials.
Following the attack on Sunday morning, nearly the whole stretch of beach was closed.
