Tourist hurt in shark attack

AN elderly tourist had to be airlifted to Florida after he was attacked by a shark in Eleuthera.

Police on the island say they are investigating the attack, but released very little information before press time last night.

The victim was a 77-year-old Canadian man. It was reported that he was on a fishing boat off Cape Eleuthera when the incident took place.

He received injuries to the leg and arm. When he got back to shore, he was treated at a local clinic, but had to be airlifted to a hospital in Fort Lauderdale.
