Rescue personnel and park rangers responded to the boy, who received what they described as injuries to his right calf, buttocks, and both hands while swimming in the Outer Banks yesterday, according to a post on the National Park Service's Facebook page. The boy was swimming with others when he was bitten, but no one else was hurt, officials said. The unidentified teenager was treated at the scene before being airlifted to a Norfolk, Virginia, hospital, the park service said. On Friday, a North Carolina man was bitten on his back and leg in Avon while playing in the surf with his children. A 43-year-old man was also attacked by a shark near Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, on Friday. Both men were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
