Overview

• The victim has been identified by 7NEWS as 52-year-old local tour guide and surfer Lee Berryman, who was attacked Tuesday afternoon at a break known as The Sewer.
• Shark Watch South Australia and witnesses reported a bronze whaler pursuing seals moments before the bites, with the incident occurring around 1:37 p.m. local time.
• Footage described by 7NEWS shows the shark thrashing before dragging Berryman underwater by the leg, leading to deep calf wounds.
• Berryman paddled to shore and was driven to hospital by a fellow surfer who is a former doctor, where he received about 50 stitches.
• South Australia Police say his injuries are not life-threatening, and while the beach remains open, authorities and community groups have urged caution at the site, which has a history of shark encounters including a 2020 attack.
