Great white shark attack at Mona Vale Basin (that turned out to be a Wobegong bite!)

An interview I recorded earlier with Matt Jones who sent in some pictures as well. Below the audio is a summary of the story so far. t’s a repost of the item on RealSurf.

0940 UPDATE:
Have just done short interview with Matt which I will convert to an mp3 to share soon.
Matt said that Paul was attacked in the basin while pushing his son into the tiny waves on a foamy. The shark pulled him back and he had to struggle to haul himself free and get his lad to safety before climbing out.

He was able to walk back to the car under his own steam.

But here’s the kicker. There was a Discovery channel crew down there that morning filming a segment on – you guessed it – sharks!

They had a shark expert more or less talking to camera while in the background Paul is fighting with a shark. I daresay it’ll be on youtube by this afternoon!

The shark expert guy apparently said it was a 4-5 foot long great white (obviously a pretty young one!).

More pics in a sec and the whole interview as soon as I can get it organised.

UPDATE: pics from Matt Jones now uploaded and Matt reports that the injured man is Paul Welsh who by now is probably being fixed up at Mona Vale hospital. Radio report says the beach is now closed.

Big news from alumni reporter Matt J who reports a person has been injured by a shark at Mona Vale. Matt says the person is okay. He’s sent some pics which I will post as soon as I can get them off my phone.(We have a bug that was making the page not work properly so I’m cutting over to our emergency plain vanilla look for now.)
