Great White Shark
Woman fights off great white at Byron Bay
Attack feared: A white pointer shark
A 52-year-old surf-skier is being treated in hospital after being attacked by a great white shark at Byron Bay, on the New South Wales North Coast. Police say the shark knocked the woman off her surf ski about 150 metres off the town’s main beach just after 11:00am (AEST). She managed to get back on her ski and fight off the shark, which police say was two-and-a-half to three metres long, but she suffered deep cuts to her arms. The woman, from Coopers Shot, near Byron Bay, is being treated in hospital. Lifesavers have closed the beach at the request of police.
