A shark attacked a spear fisherman Friday afternoon in Stillwater Cove near The Lodge at Pebble Beach.
It happened approximately 1:45 pm . One witness tells us that the victim suffered a significant bite to his right leg, but he is in stable condition at Natividad Hospital's trauma center in Salinas. Two off-duty sheriff's deputies were on the beach when the attack took place, helped pull the victim from the water and stabilized him until emergency responders arrived.
Advertisement The name of the victim, his age and where he lives have yet to be released by investigators. CHP and the county sheriff's department were on hand and now the California Department of Fish & Wildlife is taking over the investigation to determine exactly what happened and what kind of shark it is that attacked the man.
KSBW Action News 8 reporter Christopher Salas is on the scene and will have more details on evening editions of Action News 8 and here on KSBW.com
It’ll be too cold for swimming anyway.
I’ll feel safer that way.
