Description:
In the first shark attack since April 2006, a man was bitten Tuesday off a Naples beach.
Hans Pruss was swimming about 100 yards offshore from the Edgewater Beach Hotel when he felt something bump him on the left leg.
He swam to shore and saw a circular bite beginning just above the left knee and extending to mid-thigh.
“He was not in critical condition,” hotel spokeswoman Courtney Giammaria said. “After the incident, he swam to shore, and we made a call to emergency services.”
Emergency personal said the bite was probably caused by a 6- to 8-foot shark.
