'I think his whole foot was in the shark's mouth, and you could see the bite mark on the top and bottom of his foot,' said a friend of the victim. 'Must have been maybe a five or six-foot shark.'
The injuries are not considered to be life-threatening, police said. The New South Wales Ambulance Service said the bite had"gone through to the bone."
Terry Morrow, chief inspector of NSW Ambulance, told reporters during a Q&A this morning that a team of paramedics had responded to the area at approximately 8:45 a.m. "It appears that it's a small shark due to the size of the injury... the teeth had gone into the bone joint in the ankle. He had some bleeding there for a while.
