Shark Attack Horror: Teen Loses Leg at Brazilian Beach a Day After Another Mauling
A 19-year-old girl had her leg bitten off by a tiger shark at Boa Viagem beach, just one day after an 11-year-old boy suffered a similar attack nearby. Video shows rescuers dragging her to shore. An off-duty doctor applied a tourniquet before she was taken to Hospital da Restauração, where medics amputated her leg at the thigh to stop life-threatening bleeding. Hospital officials say she remains in hemorrhagic shock and likely needs more blood transfusions. They also warn of a high risk of infection in severe animal bite cases. Her cousin described pulling her out of the water as the teen was losing strength. The earlier victim, an 11-year-old boy, lost his left leg and suffered serious injuries in a bull shark attack at Piedade Beach.
