A teenager was apparently bitten by a shark while surfing at Virginia Beach on Friday afternoon, the Virginian-Pilot reports.
Caleb Kauchak, 18, was bitten in the ankle and knee. Kauchak told the paper he believed the culprit was a shark, but he didn’t see it clearly. Medics confirmed that his wounds were consistent with shark bites.
Only four previous shark attacks have ever been reported in Virginia, according to the International Shark Attack File compiled by the Florida Museum of Natural History.
