Sydney Harbour Shark Attack: Woman's Severe Injuries Spark Fear
TL;DR
A woman in her 30s suffered serious injuries to her right leg after being attacked by a shark at a popular swimming spot in Sydney Harbor. She may lose part of her leg and was airlifted to the hospital in a serious condition. A vet passing by the area applied a tourniquet to her leg to stop the bleeding before paramedics arrived. Locals who witnessed the incident posted a video of the aftermath on social media, and early reports indicate she was likely attacked by a bull shark. This is the first fatal shark attack in Sydney since 1963.
