Fort Lauderdale shark attack Florida shark attack Ritz-Carlton shark attack.
Wednesday morning, an 11-year-old Canadian boy escaped with minor injuries in an apparent shark attack while vacationing in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, according to reports.
Christian Mariani was apparently knee-deep in the water at a beach when he was bitten on his right foot.
At least one lifeguard rushed over to treat the boy after hearing a loud scream from the ocean, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Stephen Gollan told media.
The incident occurred around 9 a.m., according to The South Florida Sun Sentinel and The Miami Herald. The boy had been staying with his family at The Ritz-Carlton in Fort Lauderdale, located across from the beach.
Mariani suffered a puncture wound to his foot, but was in stable condition when he was transported to a local hospital. Mariani's injuries didn't appear to be life-threatening, Gollan said early on Wednesday.
The boy was reportedly discharged from Broward Health Medical Center on Wednesday afternoon.
