The cold has most swimmers avoiding Miami's beaches and now hungry sharks may keep anglers away too after a fisherman was bitten by one in Coral Gables this morning.
Miami-Dade police said the incident happened shortly before 11 a.m. at the Matheson Hammock Marina at 9610 Old Cutler Road. Witnesses said the shark flew out of the water and attacked theman, who was spear fishing at the time.
Fire Rescue workers responded to the scene and found the unidentified man who had been bitten on the arm. He was quickly transported to South Miami Hospital.
The victim's condition is unknown at this time.
