According to the mayor of Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina, a 7-year-old child was attacked by a shark on Sunday.
She was transported to a hospital and given sutures before being discharged, according to Smith. Her wound, according to the mayor, was “more of a graze” than a “serious bite.”
According to Smith, the last documented shark bite on Ocean Isle Beach occurred some years ago.
According to Smith, no further shark sightings were recorded on Sunday, and beaches will stay open this week.
