A surfer has been bitten by a shark at a beach north of Newcastle and treated in hospital for a serious wound to the buttock, ambulance officers say.
The 31-year-old man presented himself at the Tea Gardens ambulance station just before 11am today, seeking treatment for a bite wound on the buttock.
He told ambulance officers he was surfing near Jimmys Beach when bitten, but did not see the shark that attacked him.
A fisherman drove the injured man to the ambulance station.
The 31-year-old was treated by paramedics and airlifted to Newcastle's John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.
