An Australian tourist has died in a horror shark attack off a crowded beach in New Caledonia.
The man was swimming near a pontoon around 150 metres off Chateau-Royal beach in the capital Noumea on Sunday afternoon when the shark attacked, biting him a number of times.
Lifeguards at the beach were alerted to the attack after hearing cries from people in the water. They promptly evacuated the beach, ABC News reports.
