A teenager in Ponce Inlet, Florida, was bitten on the leg by a shark during a lifeguard training camp on Monday morning. The incident took place near the Ponce Inlet lifeguard tower around noon as the 14-year-old boy was practicing water entries and accidentally encountered the shark. Fortunately, the teen’s injuries were not life-threatening, and he was taken by his parents to receive stitches.
This shark bite incident follows two separate attacks in the vicinity of New Smyrna Beach just days prior. On Friday, a 26-year-old man was bitten on the foot while floating on an innertube, and on Thursday, a 21-year-old man sustained a bite while playing football in shallow water.
