Two American tourists were reportedly bitten by a shark while swimming in the Bahamas, authorities said.
Two American women are recovering after they say they were attacked by a shark while swimming in The Bahamas. The reported attack, according to the Royal Bahamas Police Force, occurred on Friday around 6:30 p.m. in the waters of Bimini Bay, a popular tourist destination in the western Bahamas renowned for its pristine beaches and fishing. Authorities in Bimini are investigating the reported attack, police said in a statement. Rileigh Decker, 20, and Summer Layman, 24, were on a boat ride in the waters off the coast of The Bahamas when they decided to jump in together, they told NBC’s “The Today Show” from a Florida hospital room. “We’re just very grateful to still be here – with all of our limbs,” Decker said. Decker said she felt something nudge her leg when they were in the water. “I felt my leg get tugged down, and I immediately knew I was bit by a shark,” she said.
