Cape Cod Shark Attack
      #2356474 - 07/30/12 03:19 PM


BOSTON - A man was bitten in the ankle by a shark Monday afternoon while body surfing off Ballston Beach in Truro, witnesses told the Cape Cod Times.

Several witnesses on the scene said they saw a shark fin about a third of a mile off the beach at about 3:30 p.m.

Police told the paper that the man was taken off the beach by rescue personnel with what appeared to be wounds to at least one of his legs and foot area.


The man was conscious.

Beachgoer Marshall Simpkins said he arrived on the scene when the man was being put into an ambulance.

“I saw him being carried to the ambulance and his ankle was wrapped -- his feet were intact. Both ankles looked like they had been attacked,” Simpkins said.

I'm heading there on Thursday evening. For the first time in many years, I'm probably not bringing a wetsuit. It's gotten ridiculously sharky.
