An eight-year-old British boy has suffered a shark attack while on holiday in the Bahamas in an incident which his dad described as "a scene from Jaws".
Finley Downer was attacked by around three nurse sharks while swimming in a lagoon before his sister pulled him to safety last week. The youngster had to be taken to a local health clinic on a golf buggy before undergoing a three-hour operation in the capital Nassau after suffering flesh wounds on both legs.
Finley's father, Michael Downer, 44, told The Sun his son "could have been killed" in the attack, adding: "It was like a scene out of Jaws". Mr Downer, who had taken his children Finley, eight, Lily, nine, and Emily, 12, on a luxury holiday, said the family had been part way through their five-island tour when the attack took place at Compass Cay.
