Footage has emerged of a man attempting to grab a tiger shark by the tail – before being bitten by the creature. Two men were caught on camera trying to rescue the small shark after it got hooked on a fishing line near a pier in North Carolina, US.
The clip shows one of the men trying to grab hold of its tail but failing and the animal then tries to swim a short distance away.
Blood can be seen gushing into the ocean as the man is bitten on the hand when he tries to reach for it once more.
He is then seen making his way to the shore, clutching his wounded hand.
The shark, which was about 4-foot long, was later pulled nearer the shore at Wrightsville Beach.
The hook was removed before it was released back into the ocean, local TV station WWAY reported.
