A 12-year-old girl received minor wounds when she was bitten on the ankle by a shark while she was surfing her Boogie board in about 4 feet of water north of Zelda Beach Approach, Daytona Beach, Florida, US. The incident happened around 4pm on Sunday, 5 July 2009.
The girl’s parents drove her to hospital where she was expected to have a few stitches.
A Beach Patrol spokesperson said the shark was most likely a juvenile black tip or spinner.
No other details were reported.
