A surfer in Australia had to be airlifted to the hospital after he was attacked by a shark and his severed leg later washed ashore, leaving doctors to try to reattach it.
The 23-year-old male surfer, Kai McKenzie, was attacked by a shark near Port Macquarie in New South Wales, and remained in critical but stable condition on Tuesday, ABC News reported. Video of McKenzie’s surfboard with a chunk removed shows just how terrifying the attack was.

“He was very lucky at the time we had a [off duty] police officer that was walking his dog, she added.
