A man was attacked by a shark early this afternoon at Port St Johns. A shark fin was spotted at Second Beach, Port St Johns early this afternoon. His body has not been retrieved and he has not been identified.
At 2.30 pm Port St Johns Sea Rescue volunteers were called to Second Beach Port St Johns for a shark attack.
According to John Costello, station commander at NSRI station 28A, Port St Johns, lifesavers tried to clear the water when a shark fin was seen close to hundreds of people who were in the water at the time.
The lifesavers were unable to get everyone out of the water fast enough and an African male was bitten.
NSRI has no further information at this stage.
