APT

A 12-year-old boy is fighting for his life after being mauled by a large shark while swimming with friends at Shark Beach in Sydney Harbour. The attack happened just kilometres from the city centre, turning a popular coastal spot into a scene of panic. Police believe a bull shark attacked the child’s legs in murky waters following days of heavy rain. Officers and emergency responders applied tourniquets and rushed the unconscious boy to hospital, where he remains in critical condition. The incident has renewed fears over shark encounters in Australia’s increasingly crowded and warming waters. #australia #sydney #shark ##SydneyHarbour #SharkAttack #AustraliaNews #BreakingNews #apt     oin this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpLEtz3H0jSfEneSdf1YKnw/join

00:00This video is brought to you by the

00:29At 4.21 we received our first triple O call and the police boat behind me responded with

00:41two police officers on board to an incident reporting a young boy being taken by a shark.

00:47He is in for the fight of his life now and the actions of emergency services yesterday

00:52gave him that chance.

00:54It was a horrendous scene at the time when police attended.

00:58We believe it was something like a bull shark that attacked the lower limbs of that boy

01:03yesterday.

01:04We believe the combination of the brackish water, the fresh water, the actions of the splashing

01:10may have made that perfect storm environment for that shark attack yesterday.

01:16What we can confirm is one boy definitely entered the water to pull his mate out and the other

01:21boys assisted them up from the water onto the rock platform and that was just before the

01:26police occurred.

01:27So those actions of those young men are brave under those circumstances and very confronting

01:34injuries for those boys to see but I suppose that's mateship.

01:40Between the Eastern Suburbs Police and the MAC team here, they saved his life.

01:45They really applied immediate critical CPR at the time, the boy had lost his pulse, there

01:51was a large blood loss and the double tourniquet stemmed that flow of blood loss yesterday and

01:57has contributed to saving his life.

01:58There was one way to do this.

01:59There was one way to do this.

02:00Yeah.

02:01Yeah.

02:02It was a large blood loss, there was one way to do it, it was a large blood loss.

02:05There was only one way to do it, it was just a couple of years ago, a few years ago.

02:13That's a good idea.
