A Florida teenager was bitten on the leg by a shark during a lifeguard training camp on Monday morning.
Stonix News reliably gathered that the attack occurred near the Ponce Inlet lifeguard tower shortly before noon.
According to Volusia County Beach Safety officials, the 14-year-old boy had been practicing water entries when he landed on a shark.
The teen’s injuries weren’t considered life-threatening, officials said. He was taken by his parents to get stitches.
Monday’s attack comes just days after two separate bite incidents in nearby New Smyrna Beach.
A 26-year-old man was bitten on the foot while floating in an innertube Friday, and a 21-year-old man was bitten Thursday while playing football in shallow water.
