Three people were bitten by sharks in separate attacks at Texas and Florida beaches on the Fourth of July, authorities said.
A 21-year-old Ohio man was bitten by a shark on his foot while playing football in “knee-deep water” at Florida ’s New Smyrna Beach on Thursday afternoon and taken to a hospital, sister station WESH reported.In Texas , four people encountered a shark as they took to the waters off South Padre Island on the Independence Day holiday, two of whom were bitten and another who was injured while trying to help, Texas officials say.
Nereyda Bazaldua told CNN her daughter was one of those bitten Thursday. Bazaldua said her two teenage daughters were in shallow, knee-deep water near the shore playing on boogie boards when they began screaming, “Shark!” When her 18-year-old daughter Victoria came out of the water, Bazaldua said she “could see some blood coming down her leg,” Bazaldua said. Thankfully, Victoria’s injuries were only minor, she said.
