A man who survived a shark attack at Perth ’s Trigg Beach this week says being bitten by the predator felt like a “clamp of razor blades” going into his leg. In an exclusive interview with 7 NEWS , Ryan Lowther described in incredible detail the pain he felt when the shark bit him on the lower leg, just before 5.30pm on an overcast Wednesday afternoon.

Perth surfer Ryan Lowther reveals moment shark struck. Lowther was about to catch his last wave of the day and head back to shore when he was bitten on the left leg by the ocean predator. The force of the bite was so great, part of the shark’s tooth is still lodged in his leg. “Yesterday afternoon I was just out here having a surf and I thought I would go for one more after catching a wave and a big set came through,” Lowther said.
