Description:
A shark bit a man on the forearm Friday afternoon while he was swimming at the beach near 31st Avenue.
It was the second shark bite at that beach this year.
The 24-year-old Isle of Palms man swam out from the beach about 2 p.m., Fire Chief Ann Graham said.
"He said the shark jumped out of the water and bit him," Graham said.
The man was taken to a local hospital, and his condition was not serious, Charleston County EMS said.
Police and firefighters combed the beach, warning swimmers to stay out of the water.
"We didn't close the beach but we were advising the swimmers, and it was their decision whether they wanted to stay in the water or not," Graham said.
