Young boy attacked by shark at Bahamas resort

Friday, 17 Jan, 2024 0

There has been another shark attack in the Bahamas.

However, this time it wasn’t in the open seas.

A 10-year-old boy from Maryland was bitten in a self-contained, controlled ‘Shark Tank’ experience at a Paradise Island resort.

Although police haven’t named the resort, it is thought to be Atlantis Paradise Island.

The boy was taken to hospital and is in a stable condition, a Royal Bahamas Police Force spokesperson said.

An investigation is ongoing.

It follows a fatal shark attack a month ago near Nassau.

An American woman died after being attacked by a shark while she was paddle boarding.
