Shark Attack off Miami Beach

A 31-year-old man was taken to the hospital Wednesday afternoon following a shark attack off Miami Beach.

According to Miami Beach PD, the man was bitten by a Black Tip Shark near 10 Street, resulting in an 8-inch laceration below the knee. As a precaution, Miami Beach Fire Rescue took the victim to Ryder Trauma Center, where he’s in stable condition. Double red flags are being flown at the lifeguard towers between 5 Street and 15 Street, warning beachgoers not to enter the water.

Miami Beach police said there appeared to be a number of bait fish schools in the area.
