A 60-year-old surfer has died after being attacked by a shark off the Australian coast. The three-metre shark mauled the man's leg while he was surfing at Salt Beach near Kingscliff, New South Wales at around 10am Sunday morning, Sky News reports.

Several fellow surfers came to the victim's aid and two men brought him back to the beach after fighting off the massive creature.

He was given first aid on his left leg, but died of his wounds at around 10.40am, a spokesman for Surf Live Saving NSW told Guardian Australia.

Paramedic Terry Savage said the man's injuries were "significant" but that the efforts of the two men who tried to help him were "amazing". Sign up to get the Mirror's biggest and best stories delivered straight to
