A shark bit a Florida teenager on the leg during a lifeguard training camp Monday morning, officials said.
The attack occurred near the Ponce Inlet lifeguard tower shortly before noon, Volusia County Beach Safety officials said. The 14-year-old boy had been practicing water entries when he landed on a shark. The boy dove onto a blacktip shark, which witnesses said was 4 to 5 feet long, the Miami Herald reported.
The teen's injuries weren't considered life-threatening, officials said. He was taken by his parents to get stitches.
