12-year-old American injured after shark encounter in Bahamas Exuma Cays
A 12-year-old American boy was attacked by a shark while swimming with his brother on Staniel Cay in the Bahamas’ Exuma Cays; he was rushed to Nassau for medical treatment and was listed in stable condition, with authorities not identifying the shark type. Shark attacks are relatively rare in the Bahamas, which has 29 on-record incidents and ranks ninth globally for unprovoked attacks, a context that comes as the U.S. issues a travel warning for the Bahamas.
