Three shark attacks in three hours at Florida beach
Three surfers have suffered shark bites in separate attacks over three hours in the same area of a Florida beach.
The attacks began on Sunday morning when the Volusia County beach safety ocean rescue agency said a 43-year-old man was bitten on the lower leg while surfing.

About 30 minutes later, a 36-year-old old man was bitten on the hands. Both men were hospitalized.

About two hours after that, the agency said a 16-year-old boy was bitten on the thigh. He had only a minor injury and wasn’t taken to hospital.

All the bites came near a jetty in an area well known for shark activity.

Afterward, beach safety officials instructed beachgoers not to go in the water above their knees.
