Beaches, including Sydney’s iconic Bondi and Bronde, were closed on Thursday after one person was killed in a shark attack. It is the deadliest shark attack in 60 years.
Drum lines used to bait sharks are placed near the attack site. Drones have been deployed to investigate whether the shark is still in the area. A man was killed in a shark attack while swimming in Little Bay Beach, Sydney, on Wednesday afternoon. But police have not yet identified who he is. He was seen being attacked by a shark by other swimmers. A search of the area turned up only parts of the body. The video of the young man being attacked by a shark has been widely circulated on social media.
“It shocked our community as a whole,” Dylan Parker, mayor of Randwick Council, which includes Little Bay, told Reuters.
