Two people, including a 12-year-old boy, are reported to be critically ill after separate shark attacks in Australia, the third incident in two days.
The boy had been jumping off rocks with friends late on Sunday afternoon, off Shark Beach in Vaucluse, Sydney when he was bitten.
Police said he was pulled from the water by friends and emergency services with severe injuries to both legs.
“He’s in for the fight of his life now, and the actions of emergency services yesterday gave him that chance,” New South Wales Police Superintendent Joseph McNulty told reporters.
Two more incidents were also reported in Sydney by local media on Monday.
