A fisherman has been seriously injured after he was bitten by a shark he had caught off the Australian coast.
Paramedics said the victim, aged in his 70s, was in a boat alone off Queenscliff, in Victoria, when he was attacked by the 1.5m (5ft) shark on Tuesday.
The man was reportedly bitten after pulling the sevengill shark into his boat and then drove the vessel 1.2 miles to a marina to get medical help.
He was then flown by helicopter to The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne in a serious condition.
Medics said he had lost a lot of blood but was conscious after arriving in the marina.
Sevengill sharks are known to be aggressive if provoked, and thrash and snap if caught.
