A 23-year-old surfer has reportedly lost both hands after he was attacked by a shark off the Western Australia coast in the early hours of today (October 2).
The man – named locally as Sean Pollard from Bunbury – is thought to have been surfing when he lost one arm from the wrist and other from the elbow, according to reports.
The Department of Fisheries have launched an investigation into the attack, deploying equipment in an effort to catch the shark.
