March 21 (UPI) -- A 62-year-old man suffered leg and hand injuries from a shark attack Sunday in Anaeho'omalu Bay off Hawaii's Big Island, according to local officials.
The Utah man was swimming about 200 yards offshore, in South Kohala, when a shark bit his left hand. As he tried to fight off the shark, he was bitten behind his left knee, Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources said in a news release Tuesday.
