INJURED -- 4 September 2007 -- Sullivan’s island, South Carolina, US -- surfer attacked

A very brief report says Rory Corr, 15, was bitten on both legs by a shark while surfing off Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina, US. The incident took place Tuesday 4 September 2007.

He told Live 5 TV news from his hospital that he did not see the shark. After it bit him he grabbed the back of the surfboard of a friend who paddled him to shore. When he was in knee deep water his friend ran to a telephone and he crawled out the water and onto the beach. A woman on the beach used her shirt to wrap his calf to stem the bleeding.

No other details were reported except that he required a number of stitches for the wounds.
