Robert Alexander told News4JAX he heard people screaming and saw the man in the water waving his hand for help.
Alexander rushed over to him and said he saw a lot of blood and within 10 feet he could see a 6- to 7-foot shadow of what could have been a shark in the water. “I started splashing, making a lot of loud noises and next thing I know it was kind of tunnel vision, and I grabbed him, put him on his boogie board and all of a sudden a lifeguard shows up. She kind of helps me out,” Alexander said.The man is currently in the hospital being treated for what lifeguards described as “severe injuries.”Just miles away at Neptune Beach, a News4JAX viewer sent in a video of two sharks swimming in shallow water on Saturday.
