Cape Town fisherman bitten by shark he tried to save from nets | BraGrobbies

A fisherman from Cape Town received a nasty reward for his efforts of trying to save a shark caught in fishing nets on Tuesday.

It was reported that a 46-year-old Cape Town fisherman onboard had sustained shark bites to his left forearm and left upper arm while trying to release 2.5m shark that had been caught in the crew's fishing nets and had been hauled aboard the fishing trawler. "In rough sea conditions, once closer to the Port of Port Elizabeth, we launched our sea rescue craft, accompanied by an Eastern Cape government health EMS rescue paramedic, and rendezvoused with the trawler 4 nautical miles south of our sea rescue station."
