In the video of the scene, at least six people rushed the victim out of the surf and rushed to the beach.
“I just assumed he would probably knock, because he wasn’t moving in the water.”
Parker told News News he saw the man badly injured, but Surf Lifesavers began treating him as soon as rescuers reached the beach. Parker said the wound protruded slightly from the man’s thigh to the knee.
“At that point he was pretty much gone already,” Parker said.
Paramedics treated the man, who was not identified, but died on the spot, police said.

“Everyone was running around, there were kids crying on the sand … a few people were standing there and watching and couldn’t believe what they were seeing,” he said. “She was very sad. She was really sad.”
Cabral told 9 News that he was filming his 13-year-old son in the water when he heard people saying “shark, shark, shark”.
“The first thing that came to my mind was that I just wanted my son and his friends to stay out of the water … I couldn’t feel my body at all, I was completely frozen, I was empty, he told 9. News.” I started screaming at my son to get out of the water. “
News reports said a police helicopter was searching for sharks when the beaches north and south of Greenmount were closed and nearby beaches would be closed on Wednesday.
Greenmount Beach is protected by shark nets, which are designed to catch potentially dangerous sharks, so they cannot harm people.
Gavin Naylor, program director of the Florida Program for Shark Research, told CNN that the number of fatal shark attacks could increase dramatically year-on-year.
“We see fluctuations every year and we don’t change that much,” he said.
In April, the Queensland Wildlife Ranger was killed by a great white, and in January a 57-year-old diver died from a shark attack in the state of Western Australia.
