A story with real bite!
A swimmer who had been attacked by a shark reportedly swam 300 metres, walked to his car and then drove to his local surf club – with the creature still attached to his leg. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, 22-year-old Luke Tresoglavic was attacked by the two-foot-long wobbegong, or carpet shark, while he was snorkelling off Caves Beach, in New South Wales. He reportedly told ABC Radio: “I grabbed it with both hands to stop it shaking. I just realised I had to swim in like that. Once I got ashore a couple of people tried to help me but I could not remove it; it was stuck there. So I got in my car and drove to the clubhouse and luckily the guys there had a clue what to do.” Eventually, three men took hold of the shark and flushed its gills with fresh water, causing it to release its grip. The senior lifeguard at the club, Michael Jones, reportedly said that Tresoglavic then drove to a hospital, along with the dead shark. He said that despite the 70-or-so tooth-marks in his leg, Tresoglavic remained in good spirits throughout, adding: “There was a side of humour to it.” Report by Tim Gillett, News From Abroad
