A shark attacked a surfer off a California beach. Eric Tarantino was attacked yesterday at Marina State Beach, in the US. The shark bit Mr Tarantino, 27, on the neck and right forearm and left teeth marks in his red surfboard. His friend helped him out of the water and surfers used beach towels to staunch the bleeding. His injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
