Another beachgoer discovered the shark-ravaged swimmer on the shoreline. They managed to tie a tourniquet above the victim’s gaping leg wound. A huge chunk of flesh could be seen separated from the bone. In another clip, filmed by a local fisherman, the shark can be seen lurking in shallow water minutes after mauling Fernando’s left leg. Witnesses said the predator was over 6.6 feet in length. The shark attack took place near the coastal city of Trujillo in northern Honduras on September 17. Fernando was transferred to the Salvador Paredes Hospital in Trujillo where he is still receiving medical attention. He underwent surgery and is currently recovering. Paramedic José Miranda said: “When we arrived on the scene, we found a person with a large shark bite on his left leg. “We then proceeded to bandage him and take him to the Salvador Paredes Hospital. “He was in the sea, diving, looking for sea snails, and was attacked by the animal. “He told us that while he was diving, he suddenly felt something hot on his leg. “When he turned around, he saw the shark.” Mr Miranda added: “It is an isolated case, we cannot say that sharks are coming here to feed.” Following the attack, citizens called on the authorities to move the shark from the area to protect citizens who visit the beach. Locals are concerned that it could affect tourism in the first week of October when thousands of Hondurans flock to Trujillo to celebrate Morazánica Week.
