PONCE INLET, Fla. — A shark bit a man’s foot while he was surfing in Ponce Inlet Saturday afternoon, lifeguards said.
The 28-year-old Melbourne man was on his board near the jetty in about 8 feet of water when he felt a sharp pain on his left foot.
Lifeguards said the man had what appeared to be shark bites on the top and bottom of his foot with several cuts.
He was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
