The Buzz | Surfer is third Australian shark attack victim in a month

A surfer sustained teeth wounds to his thigh yesterday in the third shark attack off New South Wales state north of Sydney in a month, police said.
The man, aged in his 30s, was attacked at Byron Bay, 36 kilometers north of Ballina, where a 25-year-old man sustained minor leg injuries while surfing with friends on Oct. 12, a police statement said.
On Sept. 26, a 17-year-old surfer required stiches to close a leg wound after he was bitten by a shark off Ballina, 600 kilometers north of Sydney. A 41-year-old Japanese surfer was killed by a shark off Ballina last year.
