A young surfer has lost a leg to a three-metre shark during a mauling at a beach in northern NSW. Kai McKenzie, 23, was in the surf at North Shore Beach in Port Macquarie when he was attacked about 11am on Tuesday.
Young surfer loses leg in horrific shark attack He saw the shark approach and was able to fight it off but suffered a severed right leg. Clinging to life, he was able to catch a wave back to the beach. A retired police officer used his dog’s lead as a tourniquet to stem the bleeding before the victim could be airlifted to hospital. Authorities say the former officer’s decisive actions “essentially saved life”.
