NEPTUNE BEACH, FLORIDA — A 13-year-old boy was taken to a hospital after he was bitten by a shark at Florida’s Neptune Beach on May 29.

According to Neptune Beach police spokesman, Michael Kay, a 13 year old boy and his stepfather were swimming in chest-deep water on Sunday afternoon when the shark attacked. The shark latched onto the rear of the boy’s right knee and calf.

Lifeguards were notified a teenage boy was pulled by other swimmers from a shark attack.

The wound on the boy’s leg was about eight inches long. Lifeguards estimate the shark that bit the boy to be five to six feet long.

In a video taken by an unidentified witness, the boy can be seen on an emergency boar, comforted by an adult while a lifeguard treats the boy’s wound. The boy was later taken to UF Health Jacksonville in Florida in stable condition and although authorities said his injury was severe it was not considered life-threatening.

Last weekend, an 11 year old girl and a 57 year old woman encountered separate shark attacks in Florida, Action News Jax reported.
