A 16-year-old boy in Australia was rushed to hospital after a great white shark latched onto his leg during a fishing trip. His father leapt to the rescue and used his bare hands to rescue his son by pulling the shark off his leg. According to Newsweek, the incident took place off a beach in South Australia on Sunday. The teen was bitten when he accidentally reeled in the huge beast from a small fishing boat.
Nathan Ness and his father Michael Ness were over two miles offshore when the teen began to reel the catch in. However, as the 16-year-old went to capture his catch with a photograph, the shark sank its teeth into his leg, the outlet reported.
His father did not hesitate to reach for the shark to save his son from the beast. Speaking to a local media outlet, Mr Michael said, "I was pretty scared, actually". But then he revealed how he saved his son from the predator. "I reached in, pulled its mouth open, and I let go, and it fell back into the water," he said.
