The second attack appears to be a swimmer who was dragged out of the water by other beachgoers, bleeding with a visible wound on her left leg. Dowdy said the third case was a man who kicked the shark when he got bitten. That man needed stitches.On Facebook, her mother explained, “The girls were in like knee deep water on their boogie board when the shark came behind Victoria with force and pushed her off and was able to scratch her leg with at least 5 of his teeth. They immediately ran out yelling Shark, super scared. It was a very scary moment, girls were in shock.”Multiple social media posts from people at South Padre said the U.S.
