Australian boy fighting for life after shark attack, rescued by friends in Sydney Harbor waters
AI Summary
A 12-year-old boy is in critical condition after a shark attack in Sydney Harbor on Sunday afternoon. The boy was jumping from a ledge at Vaucluse's Jump Rock when a large shark inflicted severe injuries to both legs. His friends rescued him from the water, actions credited with saving his life. The attack was one of three shark encounters in the Sydney area within 24 hours; a surfer was critically injured at North Steyne Beach and an 11-year-old boy escaped unharmed at Dee Why Beach. Authorities suspect bull sharks are responsible for at least two of the attacks, possibly due to increased murky freshwater runoff from recent heavy rainfall. Several Sydney beaches have been closed as a precaution.
