‘Completely unresponsive’: Family of young boy attacked by shark in Sydney Harbour share grim update
Nico Antic, 12, was attacked by a bull shark at a popular Sydney Harbour spot; a GoFundMe raised over $224,000 to support his family amid multiple NSW shark incidents.
- On January 18, Nico Antic, 12-year-old boy, was bitten by a suspected bull shark while rock-jumping at Neilson Park near Shark Beach in Vaucluse in Sydney Harbour.
- Heavy weekend rain stirred coastal waters into brackish, low-visibility conditions, and shark experts said warm seas and poor water quality attracted bull sharks near river mouths and shorelines.
- He was taken from Rose Bay ferry wharf to Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, after Water Police and paramedics applied tourniquets and transported him by boat to Rose Bay.
- The Antic family reported the boy is 'completely unresponsive,' and a GoFundMe by Victor Piñeiro has raised $224,644 of a $250,000 target by Friday evening.
- Nico’s attack was the first of four in roughly 48 hours, prompting widespread beach closures and authorities deploying drones, helicopters and increased patrols along the New South Wales coast.
