Benitez said an emergency crew raced to the victim by boat and took the individual to a local hospital.The possible shark attack came just days after two people were injured in what appear to be separate shark attacks at the same beach in Florida. The first attack happened at about 3:35 p.m., and the second just before 3:40 p.m. about 1.2 miles farther south. Jacksonville is more than 300 miles north of Miami.
A 17-year-old girl had to have her leg amputated after a shark attacked her on June 2 in the waters off Fort Macon State Park near Atlantic Beach. The victim, Paige Winter, said in a statement that although she was left with extensive injuries, including damage to her hands,"I will be okay."
