Shark Attack News

Shark teeth found in man's bone after attack

Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 14 August, 2006 : - - A
Cape Town teenager scrambled into a boat to escape a shark only to
watch with horror as it turned around and attacked his brother, biting
his foot off. "I got in the boat. It turned and went straight for my
brother," Taariq Hassiem, 17, told of the ordeal which unfolded in the
waves off Sunrise Beach in Muizenberg at 11am on Sunday.

"I stuck my hand in the water to see if I could hold him. He grabbed
on to my hand. We grabbed him out as fast as possible... His foot was
cut clean off," said Taariq. "It's the worst thing that could happen to
me. It was the worst sight ever." While Taariq helped pull his
seriously injured brother Achmat, 24, from the sea, the shark -
believed to be a great white - circled and attacked the boat.
