HONOLULU (AP) — A 25-year-old Oahu man has been bit by a shark while surfing on Oahu's North Shore.
Honolulu Emergency Services Department spokeswoman Shayne Enright said the attack happened near a popular surfing spot known as Leftovers, about 3 miles away from the famed Banzai Pipeline.
Enright said a 911 call was received at 10:25 a.m. and the victim was already on the beach when rescue crews arrived.
The man had an injury to his left leg and cuts on his hands. The man was transported to Queens Medical Center for treatment in critical condition.
Enright said another surfer was with the man and helped him back to shore after the attack. There, people put the man on a surf or paddle board and used a leash as a tourniquet.
