Good News on Shark Attack

The spearfisherman who was attacked by a white pointer shark on Sunday at Perth's City Beach sustained lacerations to his arm and suffered severe fright, but he is alive to tell his story. What a story it will be! He was dragged by the shark all the while poking at him with his spear. Finally, the shark let go and swam off. His fellow divers pulled him out of the water and onto their boat where he received first aid. Later he was treated on the beach then transferred to the hospital.

In fact, he's on the ABC radio talking from his hospital bed. He was wearing a shark attack protection device which sends out a fast pulse. He says it helped distract the shark while he poke it with the spear which jammed in the shark's jaw!
