The 46-year-old man suffered bites to his torso, left arm, and hand, officials said.
Beaches north of San Diego in Del Mar are closed for swimming and surfing after a person was attacked by a shark in the water, according to city officials. The incident happened Sunday around 9 a.m. about 100 yards offshore from the Beach Safety Center at 17th Street. The 46-year-old man was in a group of about a dozen swimmers who meet regularly to train in Del Mar, officials said. He suffered bites to his torso, left arm, and hand.
"In accordance with protocols developed by the California Marine Safety Chiefs Association and the Shark Lab at California State University Long Beach, lifeguards have posted signs and closed Del Mar beaches for swimming and surfing one mile in both directions from the incident—roughly from 6th Street to North Beach—and have notified neighboring jurisdictions," the statement continued. The water closure will remain in effect through 9 a.m. June 4.
