A man is in a serious condition after being bitten by a shark in northern NSW. The 52-year-old man from Evans Head, named in media reports as Craig Ison, is undergoing surgery after suffering injuries to his legs and hands when the shark attacked him at around 6a.m. on Friday.
Detective Inspector Cameron Lindsay told reporters in Ballina the quick thinking of another surfer and beach walkers who stemmed the flow of blood may have saved Isons life.
Two surfers initially helped him, using towels and tourniquets until emergency services arrived at the beach.
Lindsay said Ison spotted the shark in the water and warned the other surfers.
As the group tried to paddle away from the animal it then attacked Ison, he said.
“He actually fought off the shark, we’re told, and has made it to the shore with the help of the other surfers,” he said.
Ison was then transported to Lismore hospital in an ambulance driven by a police officer as paramedics frantically work on him in the back.
The beach, south of Ballina, is not patrolled in winter and would remain closed, a Surf Life Saving NSW spokeswoman said.
Local resident Bart Easdown says in the past week locals have reported many sightings of four-meter and five-meter sharks near Ballina and Lennox Head. But he says nothing will stop surfers. “I’m not quite that brave, but they (local surfers) are, and they just love doing it,” Mr. Easdown told reporters. “The majority of people say they will be back in the water and that there is always something looming.”
On Sunday beaches around Ballina were closed after two sharks were spotted off the coast, a Surf Life Saving ZNSW spokeswoman said. Earlier this month a bodyboarder was mauled by a shark at Ballinas Lighthouse Beach, suffering serious injuries to his lower legs. In February, a large great white shark tore the legs off 41-year-old surfer, Tadashi Nakaharaa, in a fatal attack at neighbouring Shelly Beach.On Sunday a man was killed by a shark while diving for scallops with his daughter near Maria Island, off Tasmania’s east coast.
