HONOLULU (AP) — Two men were seriously injured Saturday in separate shark attacks off Oahu, authorities said.
Shortly before noon, a 44-year-old man was wounded Saturday after what appeared to be a shark attack in the waters off Lanikai beach in Oahu. The victim was injured in his lower legs.
Then about 7:20 p.m., a shark bit a 32-year-old man’s left foot as he was in the water off Waikiki beach.
The man is in serious condition at a nearby trauma center.
These are the sixth and seventh shark attacks in Hawaii this year and the second and third in as many weeks on Oahu. Earlier this month, a surfer lost most of his left leg after a shark attacked him off Oahu’s north shore. One attack, which occurred in April on Maui, was fatal.
All shark attacks this year have happened in turbid or murky water.
