Shark eats swimmer alive

A swimmer was brutally killed by a great white shark as he was trying to come back to shore from deep waters. A video is circulating on social media where the man is seen swimming for his life, but he doesn’t make it. The shark caught him and ate him alive.

According to some media reports, police said they recovered human remains in the water after emergency crews responded to reports of a great white shark attack at Buchan Point in Malabar. The incident happened at around 4:30 in the afternoon.

The creature devoured him

The video is terrifying. In it one can see the white shark attacking the person who was swimming in the water. As time passed, the ocean waves turned red due to the blood of the victim who was trying to flee for his life.

On the shore, a man was recording and trying to call for help: «Someone has just been eaten by a shark!» the man shouted in the video. He added that it was a “great white shark. That’s crazy.» The terrifying screams can be heard in the audio recording.

“He suffered catastrophic injuries”

When the authorities arrived at the scene to find the remains of the swimmer, a police officer said on the radio: «The images clearly show a body, half a body, being taken by a shark,» adding that the first rescuers who responded “found some remains.”

«Unfortunately, this person suffered catastrophic injuries as a result of the attack and there was nothing the paramedics could do when we arrived on the scene,» New South Wales Ambulance Inspector Lucky Phrachanh said, according to ABC.net.au.

“We heard a scream and turned around”

The attack was reportedly the first shark death in Sydney since 1963. Kris Linto, a witness who watched as the beast attacked the man trying to escape, told the media that the shark attacked the swimmer «vertically.”

“We heard a scream and turned around, it looked like a car had landed in the water, a big splash, then the shark was biting the body and there was blood everywhere. It was really bad,” he added. In the video it’s not possible to see this witness, since many tried to help the victim. Filed Under: Shark Eats Swimmer Alive

They say that it was horrifying

The mayor of the Sydney suburb of Randwick, Dylan Parker, said the community was shocked: “The coast is the backyard of our community. Little Bay is normally such a peaceful and beautiful place, enjoyed by families. Losing someone to a shark like this is disturbing. We are all in shock.»

Another witness said he was fishing when he saw a man wearing a wetsuit swimming across the bay before the horrific attack. «He was screaming at first, and then when he went down, there was a lot of splashing,» the man said to the media. «It was terrible. I’m shaking. I keep throwing up. It’s very, very disturbing.» TO SEE THE VIDEO CLICK HERE . Filed Under: Shark Eats Swimmer Alive
