 12-year-old boy critically injured in shark attack near Sydney 

A 12-year-old boy is in critical condition after a shark attack off Sydney, authorities reported.

The incident occurred around 4:20 p.m. Sunday near Hermitage Foreshore Walk, close to Shark Beach, after emergency services received reports of a boy bitten by a shark. NSW Police said the boy was rescued from the water by Marine Area Command officers and Eastern Suburbs Police. First responders applied two medical tourniquets to his legs before he was rushed to Randwick’s Children’s Hospital with severe leg injuries.

Police believe the attack involved a large shark, likely a bull shark. NSW Police Marine Area Command Superintendent Joseph McNulty described the scene as “horrendous” and said the boy is “fighting for his life.” He explained that the boy and his friends had been jumping from a 20-foot rock into water made brackish by recent heavy rain, creating conditions that may have contributed to the attack.

The Taronga Conservation Society of Australia notes that the country averages around 20 shark incidents causing injuries each year.
