A 15-year-old boy (name not released) was bitten on the foot by a shark on Wednesday 23 July 2008 while surfing near the inlet Jetty in New Smyrna Beach, Volusia County, Florida, United States.
Lifeguards said he jumped off his surfboard in chest deep water and onto the shark, which retaliated by biting his foot.
He was taken to hospital and received several stitches for lacerations on his foot.
A beach witness told media: "He was bleeding real good but they had him wrapped up, but he had some deep lacerations on the top of his foot as well as the bottom."
No other details were reported.
