A teenage girl was left seriously injured after a brutal shark attack on a Florida beach. And we mean ON THE BEACH. According to the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office, emergency services responded to a report from Keaton Beach that a juvenile had been attacked by a shark.
The 15-year-old girl was allegedly scalloping near Grassy Island when she sustained the injury. The area of the beach she was scalloping in had waters no deeper than 5 feet!
Even in water that shallow, though, the unidentified 9 ft shark was able to attack the teen. Terrifying… It’s then reported that a totally badass family member jumped in the water and fought the shark, probably saving the teen’s life!
The unnamed hero attacked the predator and “beat” it until it let go of the girl! WOW! Related: Video Captures Moment Coyote Viciously Attacks Toddler The victim had to be airlifted to Tallahassee Hospital which is about 80 miles from Keaton Beach.
