Shark Bites Man Near Daytona Beach
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- A Jacksonville man was bitten by a shark while surfing in Atlantic Ocean waters near Daytona Beach on Saturday, officials said.
Aaron Edelson suffered severe injuries to his left calf. He underwent surgery at Halifax Medical Center and his conditions were stable, a nursing supervisor said. His exact age was unavailable late Saturday; officials said Edelson is in his 20s.
"He said he felt something thrashing around his feet and then he felt the intense pain," Beach Patrol Capt. Ray Manchester said.
Norma Reyes, a nurse who was on the beach, said Edelson's left calf was torn open in the attack.
"There were teeth marks all around" his calf, Reyes said.
It was the 10th bite reported in Volusia County this year and the first since June 30.
