An eight-year-old boy from Australia has vowed to go ‘back in the water’ after being attacked by a shark while out enjoying a fishing trip.
Manni Alam was at sea with his dad Radwan and family friend Moe Alsayed, at Lady Musgrave Island in the Great Barrier Reef, north of Brisbane, when he was attacked by the deadly fish.
Footage on TikTok shows the wet-suited youngster hanging off the side of the boat, proudly showing off his latest catch – a coral trout – when a shark comes from underneath the vessel and lunges at his chest and armpit area, giving him a small nip.
