A young surfer’s leg has washed up on shore after he was attacked by a 3m shark in northern NSW. Kai McKenzie, 23, was attacked in the surf at North Shore Beach in Port Macquarie about 11am on Tuesday.

Young surfer loses leg in horrific shark attack. He saw the shark approach and fought it off but his right leg was severed. Clinging to life, he was able to catch a wave back to the beach where a retired police officer used his dog’s lead as a tourniquet to stem the bleeding before McKenzie was flown to hospital. Authorities say the former officer’s actions “essentially saved life”.
