Description:
13 year old Hannah Mighall was bitten on the leg by a 5 meter great white shark (white pointer) at Binalong Bay while surfing.

Her older cousin, 33, came to help her. Together they punched the shark until they were able to get to shore. At one point they caught a wave but the shark was in the same wave. Witnesses said the shark followed them to shore.

She was bitten three times before making it to shore. The shark tried to pull her under and succeeded a couple of times.
