Bridgette O'Shannessy was mauled by a pointer shark Friday while free-diving off a reef in Adelaide.

Bridgette O'Shannessy, a 32-year-old Australian woman, was the victim of a horrific shark attack while free-diving off a reef in Adelaide last Friday. The attack left her with severe facial injuries, including having to have shark's teeth surgically removed from her skull.

According to Perth Now, Bridgette O'Shannessy is an environmental consultant and university student, and she was diving with her partner Brian Gordon Roberts when this incident happened.

Brian pushed the shark away before putting pressure on her wounds. Ms O'Shannessy was rushed to Flinders Medical Centre. She remains there after undergoing two surgeries for extensive injuries and nerve damage. Mr Roberts used social media to announce Ms O'Shannessy was in a stable condition when she left the surgery.
