Even though the man survived, almost half of his leg below the left knee was chopped off by the shark and he fell unconscious due to excessive loss of blood
In a horrifying incident from Maharashtra’s Palghar, a man encountered a shark during fishing, who then circled him and bit him in the leg.
A video of the incident was shot by a local and it showed the shark coming out of the water and flapping its tail. The locals caught the fish using a net and brought to the shore but it was not clear whether there more sharks in the water.
The shark, allegedly entered the Vaitarna River, that flows through the Nashik and Palghar districts and westward into the Arabian Sea. On Tuesday, Vicky Gowari entered the bay with some people for fishing, where surprisingly a shark was present, which bit Vicky’s leg and severely injured him.
Following the shocking encounter, even though Gowari survived, almost half of his leg below the left knee was chopped off by the shark and he fell unconscious due to excessive loss of blood, NDTV reported.
The victim was later rushed to a hospital in Manor and a crowd had gathered near the shore as the incident created a state of panic among the locals people.
In another video of the incident, it can be seen that the shark, which was killed by locals is held by a rope on the shore and blood stains can be seen on its belly.
