Woman suffers serious leg injury in bull shark attack in Sydney Harbour

ABC  

A local vet has been praised for "absolutely" saving the life of a woman who sustained a serious leg injury in a shark attack in Sydney Harbour. Shark attack survivor offers support NSW Department of Primary Industries marine ecologist Amy Smoothey said the attack was "tragic" and not "common". She urged swimmers to exercise caution when swimming in the water during the summer months but said the chances of another bull shark attack occurring was "incredibly low". Shark attack survivor and former navy diver Paul de Gelder said he hoped the woman was OK. "My best wishes go out to the young lady that was bitten yesterday," he told the ABC.
