A 20-year-old surfer, Kyle Cody, was bitten above the left ankle by a shark while watching bait fish in knee-deep water near the Ocean Walk Band Shell at Daytona Beach, Volusia County, Florida, US.
The brief report said the incident took place on Tuesday 10 October 2006.
His injuries were very minor and he was treated at the scene and walked away, although emergency crew attending his wound “advised him to get a stitch or two at a hospital”.
WESH 2 News quotes Cody as saying: “I was just standing there watching little fish jump and I felt a bite.
"We jumped out of the water. I never saw the fish or anything."
Media reports say this is the 11th shark bite in Volusia Country this year.
