US EditionMan Suffers Injury to His Torso During Shark Attack at South Florida Beach: Officials
HOLLYWOOD BEACH, FLORIDA, JUL 22 – The man suffered a serious torso injury and was hospitalized after the shark bite, part of a pattern of multiple shark attacks reported in Florida this year, officials said.
- On Tuesday afternoon, Hollywood Fire Rescue said a man in his 40s was bitten at the 4100 block of Ocean Drive, he suffered a serious torso injury and was hospitalized.
- As the Florida Museum of Natural History’s International Shark Attack File notes, bites largely involve minor and juvenile coastal sharks in murky waters, often from cases of mistaken identity.
- The units applied a tourniquet to the victim’s upper torso, Hollywood Fire Rescue and Beach Safety spokesperson Chai Kauffman said, shortly before 3 p.m., and transported him to a local hospital.
- The beach was temporarily cleared, Kauffman said, and the 30-minute waiting protocol requires waiting if no threats are spotted.
- According to the University of Florida’s International Shark Attack File, Florida accounted for nearly 40% of unprovoked bites worldwide in 2023, underscoring regional attack trends.
