Shark attack in Western Australia: surfer hospitalized after Glenfield Beach incident

–

Neutral summary

A man in his 50s was rushed to hospital in serious but stable condition after being attacked by a shark while surfing at Glenfield Beach in Western Australia, about 250 kilometers north of Perth, on the morning of September 14. The surfer's board was ripped to shreds in the attack, and authorities closed the beach to visitors, urging extra caution in the area. The victim's board and wetsuit were taken for DNA testing. Scientists believe rising ocean temperatures and increasingly crowded waters are shifting sharks' migratory patterns, which may be contributing to a rise in attacks.
