An eight-year-old British boy was attacked by sharks while on holiday in the Bahamas, in what his father described as “a scene out of Jaws”.

Finley Downer had to be pulled to safety by his sister after he was attacked by around three nurse sharks while swimming in a lagoon at Compass Cay last week.
