NSW police said the man was pulled from the water by members of the public who commenced first aid before emergency services arrived."
"The surfer was unharmed and helped by others out of the water. Sign up: AU Breaking News email Northern Beaches council lifeguards immediately sounded the alarm, erected shark warning signs and dispatched a jetski to patrol the water. Surf Life Saving NSW launched a drone to assist with the investigation but there have been no further sightings since the attack before midday."
"The 15cm bite mark on the young surfer's board suggests he was most likely attacked by a bull shark, according to shark biologists from the primary industries department. The shark net had been set as normal on Dee Why beach, which was closed at the time of attack because of large swells and dangerous surf. The attack comes less than 24 hours after three teenagers leapt into action to save the life of a friend who was critically injured"
