A surfer has suffered severe lacerations to her leg in a shark attack at Shelly Beach in Port Macquarie, on the NSW north coast.
The woman, aged in her early 20s, was treated by paramedics who were called to the beach just after 9.30am today, NSW Ambulance said.
She has been taken to Port Macquarie Base Hospital.
“The patient suffered severe lacerations to her right leg,” said NSW Ambulance duty operations manager Inspector Andrew Beverley.
The woman was bitten on the leg a number of times while surfing, a spokesman for Surf Lifesaving Australia said.
The shark was a juvenile white shark about two to three metres in length, the spokesman said.
Beaches in the area have been closed.
