A teenage lady has actually been eliminated in a shark attack while swimming in Western Australia.
The 16- year-old was pulled from the Swan River with serious leg injuries on Saturday.
Despite paramedics hurrying to the scene, she could not be conserved.
Police Acting Inspector Paul Robinson stated the lady had actually been out with pals on jet skis.
He went on: ‘There was perhaps a pod of dolphins seen close-by and the young female leapt in the water to swim close by the dolphins.
‘The family weren’ t there when this occurred, nevertheless, her pals were and as you can picture this is an exceptionally distressing event for anybody to witness so certainly we’re providing counselling services to anybody who did witness it or is impacted by the event.’
He stated the Department of Fisheries had actually encouraged him it was uncommon for a shark to be up until now down the river, which streams through Perth into the Indian Ocean.
‘I’ ve talked to fisheries and water authorities and sadly we have no concept what kind of shark it is,’ Robinson stated.
It is thought to be the very first deadly shark attack in the Swan River considering that a 13- year-old young boy was eliminated more than a century earlier in January 1923.
There are generally around 20 shark attacks each year in Australia, the majority of which happen in WA and New South Wales.
They eliminated 2 individuals in 2021 and 7 in 2020.
