HONOLULU, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- A 40-year-old surfer in Hawaii was in serious condition at a Honolulu hospital after being bitten by a shark.
The man was bitten at about 5 p.m. Tuesday near Kahana Bay in Ka'a'awa, KITV, Honolulu, reported Wednesday.
A fellow surfer accompanied the man to shore near Kahana Bay, the station reported. He reportedly sustained two shark bites; one took out 90 percent of his outer right thigh.
"He actually was a big help. He's the one that controlled the bleeding until firefighters and paramedics got here," said EMS spokesman Brian Cheplic.
