TIGER SHORES BEACH — A prosecutor with the Palm Beach County State Attorney's office became the victim of an apparent shark attack Sunday while surfing at the Tiger Shores Beach off Hutchinson Island in Martin County.
Authorities said Adam McMichael, 29, of Boynton Beach, apparently fell of his surfboard just before 2 p.m. when a shark attacked him and tore a lange chunk of flesh from his forearm.
According to reports, two bystanders used a surfboard leash as a tourniquet and wrapped McMichael's wound with bandages until paramedics arrived.
McMichael was taken to Martin Memorial Medical Center in Stuart. He was treated for his injuries and release around noon today, according to hospital spokesman Scott Samples.
Follow up.....
Marine biologists are out looking for the shark to administer a tetanus shot.
Without it, the shark will probably die.
