Delray Beach shark attack Florida shark attack

Shark bites boy’s foot in shallow water in Highland Beach, Florida, officials say

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A sunny afternoon at the beach for a young boy ended when a shark swam up in water only a few feet deep and bit his foot, Delray Beach Fire Rescue officials said Monday.

The adolescent boy and two friends were standing in below-knee-deep water in Highland Beach, between Delray Beach and Boca Raton, when a shark about 4 feet long quickly swam toward him, bit his foot and swam off, said Dani Moschella, Delray Beach Fire Rescue spokesperson.

Fire rescue officials found the boy in the 3000 block of South Ocean Boulevard about 4 p.m. and bandaged the “small but deep” cut underneath his big toe, Moschella said.

He was taken to Bethesda Hospital in good condition but will likely need stitches, Moschella said.
