A shark swimming in the shallows near a beach resort in South Carolina has bitten a man in a seemingly unprovoked attack.
The 60-year-old man, who has not been named, was in water just 2 to 3 feet (0.6 to 0.9 meter) deep off the Sea Pines beach on Hilton Head Island on Friday (July 21) when a shark nipped his foot. Shore Beach Service personnel helped the man back to land, and paramedics attended the scene.
