Shark bites British surfer
By SUN ONLINE REPORTER
A BRITISH surfer needed 100 stitches after he was attacked by a shark in South Africa today.
Jay Catarall, 32, was surfing with two other people when he was bitten on both buttocks and the back of his legs, a spokesman for the National Sea Rescue Institute said.
The incident happened at the mouth of the River Kei in the Eastern Cape, an area not normally associated with shark activity.
After receiving treatment, Mr Catarall returned to his hotel to recuperate.
Initial reports suggested he was attacked by a ragged tooth shark.
Shark Board officials are investigating
