Great white shark leaps into fisherman's boat

  • 7 years ago
A nine-foot great white shark jumped into a fisherman's boat on the north coast of New South Wales in Australia.
The 73-year-old fisherman, Terry Selwood, was treated at a local hospital and released. Selwood told ABC News Australia. "As he was coming down, he hit me on the arm. He knocked me off balance, of course, and I just fell on my hands and knees." Conditions were calm on Saturday afternoon and there was no obvious reason the shark had breached, Selwood added.
