A 28-year-old surfer was bitten on the hand while surfing last night (Thursday, April 19, 2012) in Melbourne Beach, Florida, according to a story on Florida Today.
He was paddling out when he felt something grab his left hand. He looked into the water and saw a shark of unknown species that he estimated to be five feet long. Reflexively, he pulled his hand back. . . The man attempted to drive himself to the hospital, but pulled into the Wendy’s parking lot near the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Miramar Avenue and called 911.
The surfer is reportedly in stable condition.
