A fisherman attacked by a shark in the Bahamas had to be rescued by a US Coast Guard helicopter, according to a news release from the agency.
On Monday, a 51-year-old fisherman was bitten on the arm while he was out on a boat fishing near Bimini. The gash – reportedly the work of a shark – had resulted in significant blood loss, so a crewmate fitted a tourniquet to the man's arm, according to a US Coast Guard Press release.
