A 12-year-old boy attacked by a shark at a popular Sydney beach is fighting for his life, according to a fundraiser set up by a family friend.
Nico Antic was swimming with friends at a rock-jumping spot near Shark Beach in Vaucluse when he was bitten by what is believed to be a bull shark.
One friend jumped in to help, while two others pulled him onto a nearby rock platform, where he had lost consciousness.
He was then moved onto a police marine boat, where CPR was performed and tourniquets applied to his badly injured legs, before being rushed to Sydney Children’s Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
